Police say they have found human remains in the area being ravaged by the Longwood bushfire.
They have not been identified.
“The remains were found around 100m from a vehicle.”
The person is yet to be formally identified.
Police will prepare a report for the Coroner.
It’s burning south east of Bendigo, almost two hours from Melbourne.
Multiple people have lost their homes.
On Saturday Victoria Police confirmed the safety of three formerly “unaccounted for” people missing after their home was destroyed in the same fire.
Three fires are burning at emergency-level in the state: the catastrophic Longwood fire in central Victoria, the fire in Walwa in the state’s north-east and a fire in the Carlisle River in the Otways around the Great Ocean Road.
Dozens of people have lost their homes, with about 300 structures destroyed, and cattle and wildlife have been killed and injured, including at an animal sanctuary.
Thousands of firefighters are battling the bushfires after overnight winds worsened conditions across the state.
