CHICAGO — The death of a woman found reportedly stabbed multiple times in a burning building Friday was ruled a homicide from a physical assault, according to an autopsy.

Firefighters responding to a blaze in the 2500 block of West 45th Place Friday afternoon found the body of Lucy Wrobel, 51. Police said the woman, who was found in her home, had been stabbed multiple times.

But the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office determined Wrobel died of multiple injuries stemming from a physical assault.

Police had no more information on the incident.
