Dementia home fight leaves 91 year old women dead
Jack Little
Halifax police are investigating a death of a 91 year old women after a fight broke out in a dementia home. The 91 year old was fighting a 74 year old women when the 91 year old fell and was seriously injured. She was taken to the hospital but later died. They are investigating like any other suspicious death but this death is complicated because the women had signs of dementia. It brings a twist to the investigation because some individuals might not remember what happened. One of the staff said the fight broke out in a common area and that staff intervened quickly but obviously it was too late. The residents of the house either have dementia or Al timers disease but are physically well. The facility is unlicensed but it is said that it runs the same as other nursing homes that has nurses and licensed staff. The major crime unit is investigating and an autopsy is set to be done sometime today. Hopefully we will get some answers on what occurred but until then it is upsetting to hear about another life being lost when it didn't have to happen.
