Chief state medical examiner testified 71-year-old woman’s head and facial injuries were consistent with blunt force trauma - being beaten by her son in 2020. She died from a pulmonary embolism, which ultimately resulted from the assault.
Doctors testified that Elsie Deason, who died less than a month later after being assaulted by her son, had bleeding in different areas of her brain and her condition was higher risk because she had been on blood thinners.
