A fatal apartment fire in Santa Cruz Sunday morning claimed the life of a 58-year-old woman. The victim was discovered unconscious in her bed, inside the residence on Idaho Avenue, near Seabright Avenue. She was pronounced dead at the scene, after paramedics unsuccessfully tried to revive her. No other injuries were reported in the early morning fire, which is believed to have started accidentally. Fire crews were able to stop the flames from spreading beyond the duplex, however other residents of the building have been left temporarily homeless. The American Red Cross is helping them find housing. The fire is believed to have caused about 500,000 dollars’ worth of damage.
