Couple dies in fire
COTTAGE HILL (AP) – Authorities say an elderly man and woman were killed when a fire burned down their rural Escambia County home.
Fire officials say two-thirds of the house was already in flames when rescuers arrived Saturday morning. An Escambia County Fire-Rescue spokesman says firefighters entered the home and found the man and woman dead in their bedroom.
Neighbors identified them as Frances and William Boyd.
Autopsies are expected to be completed on Monday.
The state fire marshal’s office is investigating the fire.
