Littleton teen dies in house fire on Easter

A 16-year-old Littleton girl died in a house fire on Easter Sunday.

Amy Hester tells KDVR-TV her daughter, Lexi Rae Hester, was house-sitting for relatives in Centennial when a bedspread somehow caught fire.

Neighbors did not report seeing any smoke coming from the house. Arapahoe County officials say the fire extinguished itself.

The sheriff’s office says Hester’s death does not appear to be suspicious.

Hester was a student at Heritage High School.
