Two people have been found dead after a fire erupted at an abandoned church in Northwest Atlanta.

Firefighters were dispatched to the 600 block of Cameron M. Alexander Boulevard and found the building engulfed in flames upon arrival.

After the blaze was extinguished, investigators found the bodies of two people inside.

Area residents say the church building has been vacant for several years. The fire is still under investigation, and a cause has not yet been determined.
