A woman who died in a house fire has been named by police.
Officers said they are pursuing a number of lines of inquiry following the "unexplained" death of 53-year-old Jane Reilly in Dunipace, Falkirk.
Her body was found in a property on Stirling Street at about 7am on Saturday January 30 following a blaze.
Her family said she was a devoted mother who will be dearly missed.
In a statement issued through Police Scotland, they said: "Her sudden death has left us devastated and our hearts are breaking as we try to come to terms with what has happened.
"We thank everyone who has passed on their condolences but we now ask for peace to grieve at this extremely difficult time."
Detective inspector Jim Thomson, of Falkirk police station, said: "First and foremost my thoughts go out to the family of Jane Reilly at this very sad time and we will continue to offer support to them as and when it is required.
"We are treating Jane's death as unexplained at this time, however our investigation is very much ongoing as we work towards establishing the full set of circumstances.
"I again urge anyone who has information that might assist with this effort to please contact police if not already done so."
