The Sacramento Fire Department said crews responded to a fire near 43rd Street and 4th Avenue around 3 a.m. and found flames coming from a building adjacent to a home.

After extinguishing the flames, firefighters discovered a body inside the building.
Authorities have not released details about the identity of the deceased.
The cause of the fire remains unknown and is under investigation.
