Woman dies and man critically ill after Totton house fire

A 25-year-old woman has been found dead after a house fire which has left a man, aged in his 60s, critically ill.

The blaze was reported at about 23:00 GMT on Saturday at an address in Northlands Road in Totton, Hampshire.

The roof and an upstairs dormer window of the property were severely damaged by fire.

An investigation has been launched by police and fire officers.

In a statement, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said: “Sadly, despite the very best efforts of the emergency services, a 25-year-old woman was pronounced deceased at the scene. Her next of kin have been notified.

“A man in his 60s, who was also inside the property at the time, has been taken to hospital and is in a life-threatening condition.

“We would ask that people respect the family’s privacy at this unimaginably difficult time and refrain from any speculation.”

Police said officers would remain at the scene for the rest of Sunday.
