ADAMS COUNTY, Pa. -- Update: State Police say the body of 73-year-old Carol Burke-Goodman was recovered from beneath the rubble of the home.

There is no word how long her body may have been there. The fire chief for Heidlersburg Fire Company told FOX43 that the living conditions inside the home made search and recovery efforts difficult.

Officials say there will be no autopsy.

The structure has been deemed unsafe and was demolished Tuesday night as a result.
