Police to investigate a Marbella house fire in which a woman died

The victim was found in a small room which was locked from the inside and where the blaze is believed to have started. Firefighters were unable to break the door down and had to demolish part of a partition wall to gain access.

When they managed to enter the room they found the woman was unconscious and despite their efforts it was impossible to revive her. An autopsy will now determine whether, as it appears, she died from smoke inhalation.
