Burnt Remains of 82-Year-Old Man Found Near Home In Valencia — Police Investigating
The burnt remains of an elderly man was found near his home in Valencia on Friday afternoon (27th March, 2026). The deceased is believed to be 82-year-old James Le Carde of Alexis Circular, Plantation Road, Valencia.
According to reports, two (2) women visited the residence along Alexis Circular, Plantation Road, as part of a routine check on the pensioner. However, upon arrival, they reportedly found the back door of the home wide open, with a trail of blood leading approximately forty (40) feet away from the home, to an open area. The elderly man was nowhere to be found and all efforts to contact him proved futile.
Further reports state that inside the home, a pile of clothing was observed lying on top of what appeared to be a large pool of blood in the dining area.
Investigators said Officers were alerted on Friday afternoon about the body of a man being burned at the location.
When Officers arrived at the home, they observed it was ransacked and also saw the trail of blood leading outside to an open area.
Upon investigating, Officers found tyres, charcoal and the burnt remains of a man, believed to be La Carde.
A District Medical Officer (DMO) was summoned, who ordered the removal of the remains for further forensic analysis to confirm identity and cause of death.
Investigations are continuing by Officers of the Arouca Homicide Bureau of Investigations (HBI) Region II.
More on this as it becomes available.
