A human skull found in an Alaskan park earlier this month is that of a restaurant owner who disappeared a month after his establishment burned down last year, authorities said.
Prior to his death, Chung Ho Kang, 61, had been working with investigators to determine what caused the Dimond Bar-B-Que Pit in Anchorage to burn down in March 2018, reports said. Brian Dean, a fire inspector with the Anchorage Fire Department, said investigators found evidence suggesting the fire was set intentionally.

Kang’s remains were found early January in a park after a dog spotted them. His death has not been determined, the Anchorage Daily News reported.
Kang spent the month leading up to his disappearance working with fire investigators and planning a trip to California, his daughter Jieun Kang told the paper.
