Firefighters found a body in a Bridgeville home after a fire Tuesday night, the fire marshal's office says.

The fire was reported shortly before 10 p.m. in the 14000 block of U.S. 13, investigators said. Bridgeville firefighters found a home engulfed in flames when they arrived at the scene, and one person dead inside.

Four other people escaped the fire without injury, the fire marshal's office said.

Fire damage was estimated at $100,000.

Investigators said Wednesday they were on scene searching for the cause of the fire, and that the state Division of Forensic Science would do an autopsy of the victim.
