OAK CREEK — Firefighters located a dead body at the Victoria Motel after responding to a fire nearby.

The Oak Creek Fire Department says they were called to 10131 S. Chicago Road at 12:20 p.m. Tuesday. There were light smoke conditions when fire crews got there.

Firefighters say after investigating, it turned out to be a small fire in a residential unit. Three people were checked out by firefighters, but none had to be taken to the hospital.

While at the motel, firefighters found a body inside. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office tells TODAY'S TMJ4 that the body found inside the motel is unrelated and appears to be natural causes. They are not doing an autopsy.

Oak Creek Police are handling the investigation.
