Since the cause of death did not appear to be related to the fire, the Violent Crimes Homicide and Assault Unit assumed responsibility for the investigation, police said.
"While the El Paso County Coroner’s Office will make the official cause and manner of death determination, the death is being investigated as a homicide," said Lieutenant Daniel Thompson of CSPD in a press release.
The deceased person has not yet been identified, and the investigation remains open.
The cause of the fire is still unclear.
This is the 16th homicide investigation in Colorado Springs in 2021, as compared to 18 homicides investigated by this time last year.
