Butler County woman dies in fire

Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones says a fire has left a woman dead.  Investigators are eyeing an "alternate heat source" as the possible cause.

Jones says emergency crews were called to the Wayne Township residence around 11:30 p.m. Friday.

Jones says deputies who arrived at the scene first were unable to enter the residence because of the fire. Firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze, but they found the resident's body inside. Jones identified her as 40-year-old Angela Tipton.

The state fire marshal's office is investigating.
