Portland Fire and Rescue personnel arrived on the 6200 block of North Marine Drive just after 1 a.m. to a report of a burning car.

As firefighters worked to extinguish the fire they noticed what appeared to be a body in the trunk.

The medical examiner later determined that Hathaway, who had been living in Milwaukie, had died of "homicidal violence."
