ELLSWORTH, Wis. (AP) - Western Wisconsin sheriff's officials are investigating the death of a person whose remains were found in a burned vehicle.
    
According to a Pierce County sheriff's department statement, someone reported finding a burned vehicle in the Town of Trenton, about five miles from Ellsworth, at 8:20 a.m. Saturday.
    
The department says deputies found the vehicle in a farm yard where no one lived. They checked the interior and found human remains.
