Authorities have confirmed the identity of the Danville man killed inside a vehicle in a garage fire near Bay Club’s Crow Canyon Country Club last week, with the investigation into the circumstances still ongoing.
The decedent was 68-year-old John Domanico, according to the Contra Costa County Coroner’s Division.
The Danville Police Department had no new public updates on the case when contacted Tuesday and declined to reveal what prior connection, if any, Domanico had to the garage in the gated Crow Canyon Heights neighborhood.
San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District crews found that Domanico was dead inside a vehicle while they battled a fire enveloping a garage on Oneida Court at around 1 p.m. Oct. 13. Danville police reported that witnesses said the vehicle had crashed into the garage that afternoon and the driver was trapped inside.
No other people were in the vehicle, garage or residence at the time, SRVFPD said. The case remains under separate investigation by fire and police officials.
