Authorities have identified the woman killed in the fire that destroyed the Woodbury Post Office last weekend.

Bedford County Coroner Rusty Styer says 64-year-old Cynthia Louise Albright died of smoke inhalation and thermal injuries.

The fire started around 6:30 p.m. on Independence Day, ripping through the post office, and apartments above, located on Main Street.

Styer says Albright was a Woodbury resident.

She was identified through DNA comparison, Styer says.

He says her death has been ruled accidental and that investigators are still trying to determine how the fire started.
