In Cumberland County, authorities know what claimed the life of a woman found in her burning Hampden Township home Saturday night.
But the cause and other details remain under investigation.
The victim is identified as 53-year-old Patricia Nolan, who lived at the home. She died of smoke inhalation. The fire is not considered suspicious, even though two months ago flames damaged the same residence.
The fire was reported around 9:30 Saturday night at 4714 East Trindle Road in Hampden Township. Smoke was reported coming from all windows. The victim was found by first responders on a bedroom floor.
The victim has not been publicly identified. Authorities are waiting for the comparison of dental records and then next of kin can be notified.
In late November, another fire occurred at the residence. In that incident, smoke was pouring from the back of the home when firefighters arrived.
A neighbor helped pull a woman to safety out of a bathroom window of the ranch-style home. She was provided medical care at the time as a precautionary measure.
That fire caused moderate damage and was brought under control in about 20 minutes. It was believed to have started in a living room adjacent to the kitchen.
The State Police Fire Marshal was part of the initial investigation. Authorities say now a final review of what happened is being carried out by Hampden Township Police and fire departments and the Cumberland County Coroner.
