EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — A woman died after a fire in her home that investigators believe may have been caused by a toaster, Suffolk County police said Friday.

Jill Siegel, 58, was found unconscious on a couch in the living room of her Manor Lane South home shortly after 11 p.m. Thursday. A neighbor out walking his dog saw fire coming from the house's kitchen and called 911.

Siegel was taken to Southampton Hospital, where she was declared dead a short time later.
