After putting out an early-morning fire in Pittsburgh’s Brighton Heights neighborhood on Saturday, firefighters found both a woman and dog who had died inside.

Diane M. Willard, 61, was pronounced dead by the coroner after Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire crews responded a home on the 4000 block of Cambronne Street just after midnight on Feb. 13, according to the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s office.

After encountering “severe hoarding conditions in the home, they accessed the second floor to find a female deceased with a dog, which was also deceased,” according to Pittsburgh Police spokeswoman Cara Cruz.
