Woman’s Death Not Foul Play
The Solano County coroner said there was no foul play in the death of a woman whose partially mummified body was found in a home last week.
An autopsy of Kathleen Wilson, 79, found that she died naturally. Wilson’s son, 58-year-old Jack Ronald Wilson, said his mother fell in the kitchen in October 2003 and died there a couple of weeks later, according to a police report.
“They tried to take care of her, fed her for a few weeks” as she lay injured, police said.
After a neighbor reported that the woman hadn’t been seen in a year, police found the body on the kitchen floor.
Jack Wilson was arrested on elder abuse charges. His 81-year-old father remained in the care of Adult Protective Services.
