SHROPSHIRE, England, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- Police say a third body found in a burned mansion in Shropshire, England, may be that of a teenager whose parents' bodies have been recovered.

Kirstie Foster, 15, has been missing since Osbaston House burned early Tuesday, The Times of London reported. The third body was found in the debris Sunday.

Pathologists earlier determined the teenager's mother, Jill, 49, was shot in the head before the fire started and they had yet to positively identify a body believed to be that of Jill Foster's husband, Christopher, The Times reported Monday.

In the rubble, police also found a .22 rifle belonging to Christopher Foster and a dead dog.

Friends told police Kirstie Foster was in the house, chatting with them by computer, two hours before the $2.5 million Georgian mansion burned to the ground.
