A FIRE chief said today no evidence has been discovered to suggest the death of blaze victim Ann Llewellyn was suspicious.
Mrs Llewellyn, 55, died in her burning three-bed- roomed home in Blackbird Leys, Oxford, on Monday.
She had two sons and a daughter and several grand- children. Friends and neighbours told how Mrs Llew- ellyn, who lived with her son Jason, became depressed the Christmas before last when her boyfriend, Eric, died from cancer.
Fire investigators, police and Home Office forensic experts have examined the interior of the burnt-out home in Whitethorn Way to establish the cause of the blaze. Their findings are ex- pected to be revealed in the near future.
But divisional fire officer John Lowe, who led the 20 firefighters who fought to save Mrs Llewellyn, said: "There is nothing to make us treat this as a suspicious incident, but we are still waiting for the forensic reports and the results of the post mortem. "We expect the full investigation to be completed in the next few days."
Flowers and a sympathy card have been left outside her house and neighbours have described her as "a lovely woman."
