Baden-Württemberg: 83-year-old found dead in room after fire

Marbach am Neckar (dpa / lsw) - After a room fire in the district of Ludwigsburg, an 83-year-old was found dead on Thursday. Two employees of a home care service smelled smoke in the house in Marbach am Neckar in the morning and alerted the rescue workers, the police said. The police and fire brigade found the lifeless elderly woman in one of the rooms.

According to initial findings, parts of the room caught fire due to negligence, a police spokesman said on Thursday. The investigators have so far ruled out third-party fault. The fire later went out by itself. The exact cause of the fire initially remained unclear.
