BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — Authorities said a woman and one of her dogs were found dead inside a Bellevue home where a fire had burned.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that 73-year-old Kathleen Janus was found dead around 10 a.m. Thursday. Police say parts of the inside of the house showed signs of a recent fire. Fire crews also found a dead dog in the home. A second dog belonging to Janus was found alive.

Police said a neighbor found Janus' body after using a key to enter the home after being unable to reach Janus by phone or by knocking on the door.
