Detroit fire crews find body in attic after battling house fire

Detroit firefighters discovered a body in an attic after battling a house fire on the city's west side early Monday morning. 

Fire crews responded to a house fire in the area of Wyoming Street and Aurora Street around 1:30 a.m. Monday. 

When crews arrived on the scene, they found a fully involved fire at a two-story home in the 11000 block of Aurora. Firefighters knocked most of the fire down, and during a primary search of the home, they found a body in the attic. Fire officials say the body appears to be a woman. 

Fire officials are unsure if the home was occupied or vacant since the fire was fully involved. 

DFD's Fire Investigation Division is investigating the cause of the fire.
