Update: Woman, 98, dies in Warren house fire

WARREN -- A 98-year-old woman and member of the well-known Delekta family died in a house fire this morning.

Police say the blaze was reported just after 10 a.m. Firefighters found the body of Stacy W. Delekta in the basement of the wood-frame house.

She was the only person in the house at the time.

Warren Police Chief Thomas D. Gordon says the fire was very intense. The house is at the intersection of Seymour Street and Bardon Lane, just west of Metacom Avenue.

Firefighters did not know yet where the fire began or what caused it.

The fire had been mostly put out in the 1-1/2 story house by noon, with firefighters checking for hot spots in the roof.
