The mechanism of death for a body found in a fire can depends greatly, of course. However, all else held equal, a fire can rapidly kill via smoke inhalation and the displacement of oxygen in the air. This mechanism of death is more likely in most fires because smoke inhalation can kill even when away from the flames themselves; thus, a person can die sleeping in the room down the hall from a fire, as an example.
