RIP DUSTIN YOUNTS (October 12, 1973 – February 1, 2025)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Saturday at 12:00 a.m.

The decedent was lifeless inside a burning RV in Wilmington.

LAFD had responded to a vehicle fire in the 1000 block of East Anaheim Street at around 11:40 p.m. After extinguishing the flames, the firefighters found a body inside the camper.

This appears to be a possible homicide.

Note that toxicology tests can often detect drugs and alcohol even in severely burned bodies. Postmortem toxicology screens are routinely performed in cases of fire-related deaths. These screens can detect a wide range of substances, including alcohol, drugs, and even chemicals like carbon monoxide or cyanide.
