Gulfport Woman Killed in Fire This Morning

A 50-year-old Gulfport woman died of smoke inhalation after trying to protect herself from a fire in her home.
Firefighters found Sandra Beverly unresponsive in her back bedroom early Monday after responding to a neighbor’s report of fire in the 1900 block of 42nd Avenue, Chief Deputy Coroner Brian Switzer said.
Beverly’s husband also lives there, but was not home when the fire started, Switzer said.
The fire started from food left cooking on the stove, Fire Chief Mike Beyerstedt said.
