Found dead in house fire

A woman was found dead inside her Barriere home after fire ripped through it on Thursday.

RCMP and firefighters responded to the home at a trailer park on Power Road Thursday afternoon.

Bystanders reported that they believed an elderly female was inside the residence.

The 79-year-old woman was found deceased by firefighters.

“The current findings into the fire and the woman’s death indicate that the fire and her death are non-suspicious in nature,” said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk.

Next of kin has been notified, but police are not releasing the woman's identity.

The investigation is ongoing.
