Body in Cabin Identified as Ex-LAPD Cop Christopher Dorner

HeadlineFeb 15, 2013

Authorities in California say the body found inside a burnt-out cabin in California is that of former police officer and shooting suspect Christopher Dorner. Dorner is accused of waging a campaign of terror against his former employer, the Los Angeles Police Department, and ultimately killing four people, including a sheriff’s deputy caught in a shootout at the cabin. Dorner had accused the department of racism and corruption. Officials deny they intentionally set a fire that gutted the cabin where Dorner was hiding, but admit the blaze was ignited by their pyrotechnic-style tear-gas canisters known as “burners.” Dorner’s scorched remains had to be identified by dental records.
