Police are treating Budiongan’s death and the fire as suspicious, however, they say her death was an isolated incident and that there is no danger to the public.
Police don’t say what caused her death.
She used the name Hazel Delgado Costin on her Facebook page. It says she was self-employed.
It appears she was married recently, because her last Facebook update was September 14, 2015 posing, in what appears to be a wedding photo with a man named Kevin Douglas Costin.
