A concerned Lick Run Lyra Road neighbor called 911 to ask for a welfare check for a neighbor. He said her family hadn’t heard from her. He’d knocked on the door but didn’t get an answer. He also said the woman had a small dog inside.
When deputies arrived, they realized they needed to break in. Officers requested assistance from the fire department in gaining entry without destroying the door.
Once the deputy was inside, they found the woman deceased. They contacted her relatives and arranged for a funeral home to take possession of the deceased.
A relative came to pick up the dog.
