BARK RIVER TOWNSHIP --
UPDATE: The woman killed in the house fire in Bark River has been identified.

Officials say the remains found in the home were of 38-year-old Diane Juneau of Bark River.

Officials say they believe Juneau died of asphyxiation because her body was found still lying in her bed.

Detectives believe the fire was caused by a fault in the electrical system near a crawl space area in the basement on the northwest corner.

They've ruled out any sort of foul play.

"She may have been overcome by the smoke because she was still in her bed when she was found," says Detective Dan Johnson of the Delta County Sheriffs Department.  "Preliminary medical reports show there was a high level of carbon monoxide, what I'm told.  And that's what we believe she was overcome by smoke and died of asphyxiation."

Authorities cleared the scene about 11:30 Thursday morning.
