PITTSBURGH (AP) - Authorities in western Pennsylvania have released the name of a woman killed in a fire in a Pittsburgh home last week.

The Allegheny County medical examiner’s office says 52-year-old Cynthia Hall was pronounced dead at the scene of Tuesday afternoon’s blaze in the city’s Homewood neighborhood.

A police spokesman said the two-alarm fire reported at 12:45 p.m. Tuesday started on the first floor, spread throughout the residence and worked its way up to the attic.



Hall was found near the first-floor stairwell. Flames damaged a nearby home. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
