This fire broke out at 5603 Louisiana Avenue overnight.

Investigators said Cathy Ann Robinson, 42, was inside the building and was killed.

Robinson's body was found on a sofa where she was apparently sleeping. Smoke inhalation is the likely cause of death and foul play is not suspected.

Police said a full autopsy will be conducted, including toxicology testing, before the death is classified.

Neighbors said the woman had just moved into the home just a few days ago.

Metro police said the fire appears to be electrical in nature and began near the entrance of the home.
