THE DEVASTATED daughter of a 43-year-old woman tragically killed in a house fire in Sedgley said her "amazing" mum will be "dearly missed." 

Daughter Beth Simcox paid tribute to her mum Michelle Howie who had three children and was married to husband Shaun who was also involved in Saturday's fire in Beacon Lane, Sedgley, Dudley.

Police have confirmed the cause of the fire was accidental.

Beth said: "She was an amazing mother to all three of her children.

"She was my dad's rock and they were incredible together.

"No matter what life threw at my mum she always had a way of figuring it out.

"We are all going to miss her dearly especially her mum in Scotland and my dad Shaun.

"With everything going on we would appreciate some privacy to come together as a family to grieve her death."

A man and teenager were taken to hospital.

The 49-year-old man was released a short while later after being checked over.

A 16-year-old girl, believed to be Michelle's daughter Demi, remains in hospital with serious injuries.

A spokeswoman for West Midlands Police said: "Officers investigating a fatal fire in Sedgley, Dudley on Saturday are not treating the death of a 43-year-old woman as suspicious.

"This will be referred to the coroner.

"A 16-year-old girl, who was injured in the fire, remains in hospital in a critical but stable condition."

A fundraiser for the family involved has already raised more than £6,000 from 421 donors.

A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "This is a tragic incident and our thoughts are with the woman’s family and loved at this difficult time."

Detective Inspector Carla Thompson, said: "Our thoughts are with the family of the woman at this difficult time who are being supported by specialist officers."
