CLEVELAND — A 68-year-old woman died in a house fire overnight in Cleveland.
Firefighters responded to the scene in the 8600 block of Cannon Avenue around 1 a.m. Monday. Upon their arrival, firefighters found flames showing on the front and side of the first floor of the home, according to Lt. Mike Norman with the Cleveland Division of Fire.
The woman was found in an upstairs bedroom, but Norman says she did not survive. Her identity has not yet been released.
The cause of the fire is "possibly" connected to electrical issues, Norman said. No other details are known at this time.
This is the second fatal fire to occur in Cleveland in the last four days. On Friday, 62-year-old Brett Giebner was killed and a 70-year-old man injured in a blaze on Fleet Avenue.
