Woman's body found in Brookville

BROOKVILLE, Ohio (WDTN) - Police asked for the public's help to identify an elderly woman found in Brookville.

Officials said a newspaper delivery driver found her unresponsive, lying on the ground in the 800 block of Shaney Lane just before 7 AM Sunday. We're told she was wearing pajama style clothing, no shoes and no coat. Police said she was possibly in her 70s. There is a vertical scar above her left eye and a scar on the corner of her right eye.

Attempts to resuscitate her were unsuccessful. The woman was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The police chief said there are no signs of foul play, but an autopsy has been scheduled to determine cause of death.
