Police have arrested a 23-year-old man in connection with the death of a 63-year-old woman found dead in a Seattle home Monday.
Officers were doing a welfare check about 10:15 a.m. in the 2500 block of Northeast 107th Street when they heard a smoke alarm inside the home and saw smoke. The officers called the fire department and went into the home to check if anyone was inside the home, according to a police department spokesman.
Once inside, the officers found a body.
Detectives are investigating her death as a homicide, the department released in a statement late Monday. Officers tracked down the male suspect some time Monday afternoon and booked him into King County Jail.
Roads were closed near Northeast 107th Street and Lake City Way for most of Monday while police investigated.
