He was Larry Hopkins, 64, according to the Los Angeles Angeles County Coroner’s Office.
Firefighters were dispatched at 4:56 a.m. Friday, Dec. 30, to the Lancaster Estates Mobile Home Park in the 45000 block of 25th Street East, said Los Angeles County Fire Department Inspector Richard Licon.
The flames were extinguished in about 13 minutes.
When firefighters went inside, they found the person — now identified as Hopkins — dead, the fire inspector said.
Hopkins had recently retired from the Los Angeles Police Department, where he worked as a motorcycle mechanic, according to his neighbors. Hopkins had been caring for his elderly mother who also lived at the Lancaster Estates Mobile Home Park, neighbors said.
