BCFD said she was the only one inside the home at the time.
Several neighbors WJZ talked to said this was hard news to wake up to.
Families on the 800 block of Bradhurst Road woke up to a crowded street Thursday morning.
BCFD said crews responded to a single alarm fire just before 5:30 a.m., arriving to heavy smoke and fire.
The fire was mostly contained to the second floor and that's where firefighters made a terrible discovery: a dead body.
By around 10:30 a.m., firefighters were mopping up hotspots and making sure the fire was completely out.
The cause is still under investigation and the medical examiner's office is determining the victim's cause of death.
Meanwhile, smoke stains and other damage to the home will serve as reminders of what happened there, that someone on Bradhurst Road lost their life too soon.
