A woman in her 80s died at a house in Bankfield Walk, Braithwaite, yesterday.
Keighley firefighters were called to the property at about 3.20pm because a pan was left on the cooker.
They found the woman unconscious inside the house and gave her first aid.
Police were called soon afterwards, and it was confirmed the woman had died at the scene.
A police spokesman said there were not believed to be any suspicious circumstances, and a file would be prepared for the coroner.
