Fayetteville police are investigating the case of a woman found dead in her apartment over the weekend.
A police report indicated that an officer was dispatched for a welfare check July 9 between 1:20 p.m. and 2:15 p.m. at a residence on Swanbrook Drive. The victim was last seen alive the previous evening at around 9 p.m. by a friend who lives nearby and gave her some acid control pills to help with her stomach pain just before she went home.
A text message the next morning went unanswered, as did a knock on the door shortly after noon. The victim’s daughter, who lives in Texas, was in touch with the friend and ultimately called 911. She said her mother had recently been hospitalized due to stomach issues.
Officers entered the apartment with the help of management and found the victim deceased on the bed. The daughter was notified, and the scene was turned over to the police department’s criminal investigations division for further investigation.
