The Almeda fire in Oregon that has so far killed two is now under investigation as a potential arson attack after a body was discovered near the start of the blaze.

Ashland Police Chief Tighe O'Meara announced Thursday a criminal investigation has been opened into the cause of the fire saying he believes the circumstances around the fire are 'suspicious'.

Investigators are looking into the possible connection between the blaze and the death of an unidentified individual, whose body was found near the origin of the fire.

'We have good reason to believe that there was a human element to it,' O'Meara said of the Almeda fire Thursday.

'We're going to pursue it as a criminal investigation until we have reason to believe that it was otherwise.'

O'Meara did not elaborate on the suspicions of authorities but said police are working alongside the Jackson County Sheriff's Office on the investigation 'including the resulting death that occurred nearby along the Greenway.'

Sheriff Nathan Sickler confirmed Wednesday that a body had been discovered around a mile from the origin point of the fire along the Bear Creek Greenway in north Ashland.

RUN JIM RUN !!

A Democrat has suddenly bowed out of the US House race in Georgia citing “personal reasons,” clearing the path for Republican contender Marjorie Taylor Greene, the alleged QAnon supporter who is now running unopposed.

Kevin Van Ausdal said he would pull out of the contest in a statement on Friday, leaving the race for Georgia’s reliably red 14th Congressional District uncontested, with Greene the only candidate left in the running.

“I am heartbroken to announce that for family and personal reasons, I cannot continue this race for Congress,” Van Ausdal said in a statement, adding that “stepping aside would be best for the voters.”

Greene, who handily defeated neurosurgeon John Cowan in the GOP primary last month, wasted little time before running a victory lap following Van Ausdal’s announcement.

“Best wishes to [Kevin Van Ausdal], who stepped down from the #Ga14 race today,” Greene wrote on Twitter. “As the Congresswoman from NW Georgia, I look forward to fighting for our Christian, American values and helping [President Trump] pass an #AmericaFirst agenda!”

The conservative businesswoman has courted controversy with a number of statements in support of QAnon conspiracy theories – which, among other things, posit that a cabal of Satanic pedophiles rules the world – as well as comments critics have deemed Islamophobic and anti-Semitic. Though the remarks have drawn attacks even from fellow Republicans, Greene nonetheless secured high-profile endorsements throughout the Congressional race, including from Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).

While Van Ausdal’s campaign offered few details about his reasons for stepping down, several supporters have suggested he pulled out of the race due to harassment and “serious death threats” from other members of the QAnon community. A campaign spokesperson quashed the rumors, saying neither Van Ausdal nor his staffers had received any threats. Some remained unconvinced, however, pointing to a statement from the campaign noting that the candidate “is safe.”

Van Ausdal’s sudden pull-out came just hours before Georgia Republican Tom Graves announced that he would not finish out his term, saying he would retire early next month. Graves, who currently holds the same seat in Georgia’s 14th District sought by Greene, previously said he would not run for re-election. With Van Ausdal’s withdrawal and a chance that no Democrat will replace him, Greene is all but assured victory come November.
