A man whose body was found inside a burned-out recreational vehicle has been identified by local officials as a Dixon resident.

Ronald Bonesteel, 69, died in the one-alarm structure fire on June 15, the Solano County Sheriff’s Office says.

Fire crews in Dixon rushed to the 5800 block of Thissell Road after receiving a report of a fully-engulfed motorhome on fire.

Firefighters discovered Bonesteel’s body during a preliminary search of the area. The condition of the body required forensic testing to identify Bonesteel as the victim.

The cause of the fire still remains under investigation.
