A body has been discovered following a fire at the same Co Offaly home in which a boy and his great aunt died in an arson attack in December.
Gardai said they are investigating “all the circumstances” of the fire at Castleview Park in Edenderry.
An Garda Siochana said: “The body of an adult person has been discovered inside the premises.
“A post-mortem will be conducted to determine the cause of death, which will determine the course of any Garda investigation.”
The scene has been preserved for forensic examination and gardai are appealing for any person with any information on the fire to contact them.
