Residents told police a neighbour tried to get to the woman after he noticed she had not been evacuated, but he was overcome by smoke and unable to reach her.

Firefighters extinguished the blaze and the woman was taken to Gosford Hospital, where she later died.

Investigations are continuing into the cause of the fire.
