The blaze was reported about 8 a.m. by a passerby who'd seen smoke and fire coming from the building's basement, officials said. While local firefighters worked to put out the flames, they were told a resident of the home wasn't accounted for and may not have escaped.
The body was later found inside. Medical examiners were set to conduct an autopsy to learn the cause and manner of their death, as well as to identify them.
