FLINT, MI — A Flint man has been charged with murder after a woman he lived with — and had met on the internet dating site “Plenty of Fish" — suffocated to death. Ranee Marie Mckelvey, 53, was found dead on Sunday. She was lying face down on her bed in her South Hampton Avenue home in Grand Blanc Township, Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said in a Facebook post.

Natural gas behind her stove had been turned on and her home filled with gas. Authorities found lit candles that they believe were intended to burn down the home.

Results of her autopsy are pending.
