Mesa police are investigating a deadly fire in a gated community overnight.

Crews responded to the fire near McKellips and Country Club around 12:45 a.m. on Tuesday. When they arrived, the structure was completely engulfed in flames. 

Firefighters put out the blaze and found a body in the bedroom of the home.

Mesa police tentatively identified the victim as 63-year-old Diana Ruck. They say Ruck is the only listed resident of the home and lived alone. 

It's too early to tell how the fire started but at this point, officials do not suspect foul play. 

They are investigating.
