Police are investigating the death of a woman found Wednesday afternoon, her head in the toilet at her home. Lt. Bill Collard said an autopsy will be performed Thursday.
"It looked suspicious at first, of course, a young woman found dead like that, but as we investigated, it appears there could be a logical reason behind it," Collard said.Jennifer C. Lewis, 25, had a medical history that includes seizures, Collard said, and apparently went home from work feeling sick Wednesday afternoon. Investigators are looking into the possibility that she was in the bathroom, throwing up in the toilet, when she suffered a seizure and drowned.
Collard said the woman called her husband and told him she was going home from work earlier Wednesday. He tried to reach her by telephone several times but got no answer, Collard said, so he asked neighbors to look in on her. She was found around 4 p.m., he said.
