Woman found dead inside burning Hanover Park home, officials say

HANOVER PARK, Ill. (WLS) -- A woman was found dead inside of a burning northwest suburban home on Thursday night, officials said.

The Village of Hanover Park said its fire and police departments responded to a fire in the 7800-block of Kingsbury Drive around 11:30 p.m.



There, first responders found a home that was fully engulfed in flames.

The extensive fire conditions and structural instability prevented firefighters from conducting an initial search of the home.



Once crews got the flames under control, they found a 69-year-old woman, who had died, inside of the home. Her name was not immediately released.

Investigators do not believe the cause of the fire is suspicious. An investigation is underway.

Further information was not immediately available.
