Mr Hobson was discovered near a car along a fire-affected road at Gobur, a remote area east of Seymour, on Sunday, January 11.
“A car was found that had run off the road and that gentleman was found around 100 metres from that car. It was in the fire landscape," Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan said on Monday.
More than 350 structures, including about 100 homes, have been lost and up to 1000 agricultural properties damaged.
