Editor’s Update Tuesday March 6th 5:00 PM: The Snohomish County Medical Examiner has identified the person who died in the fire as 57-year-old Lola E. McKee. The cause of death was smoke inhalation. The manner of death is Accident. 
The body of a person was found inside a burning house in north Everett Wednesday night. Shortly after 10 PM calls began coming in about smoke pouring from the eaves of a small house in the alley west of 2524 Lombard. The first incoming fire engine found smoke and flames coming from the front of the home.

No further information was expected to be released until sometime late Thursday morning or afternoon. Here are a couple of MyEverettNews.com photos from the scene.
