LAUDERHILL, Fla. (AP) - The bodies of a man and a woman were found Sunday afternoon in a smoke-filled in South Florida, fire officials said.

Lauderhill Fire Rescue crews received a call around 3:30 p.m. When firefighters arrived, they found smoke but no fire. They saw one person who appeared to be passed out so they forced their way into the home.

They found a pot that had been left on the stove, which caused the smoke, the South Florida SunSentinel reported.



Firefighters then found the second body.

The identities of the victims have not been released. No additional details were available.

Lauderhill is near Fort Lauderdale.
