Stamford Police have identified the 36-year-old woman who died after a fire in the home she shared with her family on Webbs Hill Road Monday morning.

Police said that Heisze Chan was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:56 a.m. Stamford Fire & Rescue, Stamford EMS and Stamford Police responded to 109 Webbs Hill Rd. for a report of an unresponsive female and a working house fire at 7:39 a.m. Police said they are investigating whether the death is a suicide. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday at the Office of the Chief State Medical Examiner, police said.

Upon arrival patrol officers assisted a resident of the house in removing Chan from the second floor of the smoke-filled home. Fire and EMS quickly arrived and attempted to resuscitate the unresponsive female to no avail, police said.

“Stamford Fire/Rescue entered the home and put out a fire which was contained to a bedroom. The house sustained minor damage but had a significant smoke condition,” police said in a statement.
