(AP) -- Authorities say a 77-year-old South Carolina woman has died in a fire in her Greer townhome.

Firefighters told multiple media outlets that a neighbor in an adjoining townhome called 911 after noticing the blaze Friday night.

Authorities say Patricia O'Branski body was found in her living room, where the fire was concentrated.

The adjoining townhouses were not damaged in the blaze.

Investigators are trying to determine what caused the fire, and an autopsy has been scheduled for O'Branski
