A woman was found dead Tuesday morning inside an Orange County home that was torched by fire, officials said.

The victim was located inside the home at 3214 Dawley Ave., which is located near Lake Margaret Drive in southeast Orlando.

The name and age of the victim have not been released.

Neighbor Penelope Hannah said a 35-year-old woman was living in the home, which was owned by her parents. Hannah said the woman had moved back to her parents' house after falling on hard times.

"She had a lot of physical problems, and he'd been taking her to get her medicine and stuff. She's only been back two weeks," Hannah said.

According to Orange County firefighters, a neighbor called 911 at about 6 a.m. to report the fire at the 1,200-square-foot home.

The cause of the fire is under investigation, but neighbors said fire crews told them candles may have ignited the fire.
