She was discovered with a washcloth shoved down her mouth. The patient, whose name has yet to be released, was whisked away to the hospital's intensive unit for treatment. While some reports have her listed in critical condition, CBS 5 now reports that she succumbed to her injuries and died. Aside from the fact that this was an elderly woman, police have been reticent with regard to giving out any details since it's currently under investigation. No arrests have been made. Will update when we know more.
