Woman found dead after east Las Vegas Valley fire
A 59-year-old woman was found dead after a fire Sunday night in the east Las Vegas Valley.
The fire was reported just after 6:35 p.m. at Arthur McCants Manor, 800 N. Eastern Ave., according to a Las Vegas Fire Department news release.
The first unit arrived within three minutes, and crew members began primary assignments to locate the fire and assist the residents in evacuating the complex, the release said.
Firefighters searched the second-floor apartment where the fire originated and extinguished a small fire in the bathroom. The body of the victim was found in the apartment.
The Clark County coroner’s office Monday identified the woman as Caroline Gross.
Fire department spokesperson Jordan Moore said the estimated damage done by the fire was $25,000.
The fire is under investigation, and the cause has not yet been determined. Fifteen units responded.
A fire at the same complex on Dec. 25 caused $50,000 in damage, according to Moore. The cause of that fire remains undetermined. One person was displaced.
