An investigation by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner in Augusta used DNA to tentatively identify the deceased person to be Wayne Bouchard, 64, of Deerfield, New Hampshire. He was the owner of the trailer and was staying on property owned by his family, according to Moss.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
