FRANKLIN, Neb. (AP) — Southern Nebraska officials have identified a woman whose body was found in a burning home earlier this week.

An autopsy identified the woman as 71-year-old Margaret Nielsen and said her cause of death was smoke inhalation.

Nielsen was found dead after firefighters extinguished the Monday morning fire. Adam Matzner with the State Fire Marshall’s Office says the fire was caused by an unattended candle.
