Elderly woman killed in Laurel County fire

An elderly southern Kentucky woman has died after a fire in her home.

The flames broke out around noon Monday, at a house near the East Bernstadt community of Laurel County.

The coroner says Louise Polly, who was in her 80's, was killed.

We're told she lived at the home with a grandchild, who was at work when the fire started.

Firefighters haven't determined what caused the fire yet, but they think it was an accident.
