A spokesperson for Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service said: "Sadly, during their search firefighters discovered the body of a deceased casualty."
The spokesperson had earlier confirmed to the ECHO it was a "serious fire".
Merseyside Police and North West West Ambulance were in attendance at the property.
Images taken by the ECHO showed police cordoned off a large part of the road while fire crews are at the scene.
Forensic officers could also be seen working at the scene of the fire and taking images inside the cordon.
Today new images have shown the road is back open but a police scientific support van remains parked outside.
The door of the property stands open and police tape can be seen outside.
The ECHO has approached Merseyside Police for comment about the incident.
