LIVERMORE — Police here have launched a homicide investigation into the death of an 80-year-old woman who was knocked to the ground and died from her injuries, authorities said.
The 80-year-old victim died earlier this month while undergoing surgery for a hip fracture she sustained at a senior living home on Holmes Street, authorities said. Police launched an investigation last week after receiving a report that she was knocked or pulled to the ground while arguing with another person.
Police are interviewing witnesses and reviewing the woman’s medical history. The woman’s coroner’s report has not yet been completed — a process that typically takes months in Alameda County — but preliminary indications are that it was a homicide, authorities said.
No arrests have been announced. Police haven’t revealed the nature of the argument or whether they’ve determined if the other party was a resident, a visitor, a staffer, or a trespasser.
