OPELOUSAS, La. (AP) — The Louisiana State Fire Marshal's Office says a woman has died in a house fire.
Spokeswoman Ashley Rodrigue says in a news release that the woman's body was found in bed after the Opelousas (op-uh-LOO-suhs) Fire Department was called early Sunday.
Her identification and cause of death were pending autopsy, but she's believed to be the 70-year-old homeowner.
Rodrigue says the fire started in the kitchen, and investigators think electrical factors contributed.
She says investigators didn't find any smoke alarms in the house.
