But authorities tell the Idaho State Journal (https://bit.ly/1i8huUt) the deaths reported on Thursday are not connected.

Bannock County Coroner Kim Quick says Tripp appears to have died of smoke inhalation. It’s unclear what caused the fire.
About 15 minutes later, a hiker reported a vehicle with a body in it south of Pocatello.
Quick says the 31-year-old woman inside had likely been dead several days. Her name hasn’t been released.
Authorities are continuing to investigate both deaths.
