CLEARWATER

Clearwater fire officials have identified the woman who died Tuesday in an apartment fire as Kathryn M. Oxley, 24. She was found dead in unit 9 of the 10-unit complex at 223 Dolphin Point on Island Estates, about 2:30 p.m. The fire burned out before firefighters arrived. Fire officials say it's not uncommon for fires in closed spaces to go out as they use up all the oxygen inside the building. The cause of the fire was still under investigation, according to authorities, but officials say neither the death nor the fire, which did about $30,000 in damage, are suspicious. Dolphin Point is a two-story apartment building located next to the Dolphin Cove condominium tower.
