A pensioner has died following a fire in Glasgow.
Emergency services raced to Annandale Street in the city's Govanhill on Sunday afternoon after receiving a report of a fire within a property.
An 83-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
Cops and fire crews investigated the incident and determined that there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the fire.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 5.40pm on Sunday, July 16, 2023, we were called to a report of a fire at a property on Annandale Street, Glasgow.
"Emergency services attended and the fire was extinguished.
"An 83-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
"A joint investigation was carried out with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and the fire is not suspicious.
“A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
