Authorities have identified the body in what they originally called a suspicious death in Crystal River.
- Body identified as Linda Steve, 58
- Car caught fire Monday night in area of Sunshine Path and W. Sunripe Loop
The Citrus County Sheriff's Office said Linda Steve, 58, died in the incident but said that foul play is not suspected.
Investigators believe Steve was trying to turn around Monday in a driveway on a dirt road in the area of Sunshine Path and W. Sunripe Loop.
She put the car in reverse to back up, and the car's undercarriage got hung up on several large palmetto roots that prevented the car from moving forward, authorities said.
The vehicle and an approximate area of 30 feet around it burned significantly.
Detectives are still investigating.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Citrus County Sheriff's Office.
