PITTSBURGH (AP) - Authorities say arson and police detectives are investigating a blaze in a Pittsburgh home where one person was found dead and another was injured.

A public safety spokeswoman said emergency responders were dispatched to the home in the Point Breeze North neighborhood just before 2 p.m. Monday.

Initial reports indicated one person was inside the home as fire spread through the interior.



Authorities said firefighters were able to get a male patient outside and take him to a hospital in critical condition. After the fire was extinguished, a body was discovered.
