One of her own family members may be held accountable for the death of a Colorado lady whose body was discovered in January and whose death was declared a homicide by the county coroner.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation at the time issued a senior alert when Corrye Brewer, 97, was reported missing by her family while on a visit on January 25.
The grandmother “suffer[ed] from a cognitive impairment which may affect her memory,” according to the CBI’s description of Brewer, making her extra more susceptible to the bitterly cold conditions.
Human remains were discovered two days later in Calhan, Colorado, next to an intersection. Later, Brewer’s body was identified.
The El Paso County Coroner’s Office published its autopsy report on Brewer a few months later, on April 9, and determined that her cause of death was a homicide.
Brewer died from hypothermia after being “intentionally left in the cold without any way to return home, get to adequate shelter, or call for help,” according to their report.
According to the coroner’s findings, Brewer’s own daughter had allegedly abandoned her at an empty house nearby. The elderly woman was left without her phone or walker.
According to the report, it was windy, with snow showers and temperatures as low as 16 degrees Fahrenheit on the night of January 24, when Brewer was allegedly brought to the house.
Days later, Brewer was allegedly discovered dead on the same premises.
There was conflict in the family, especially with the relatives the grandmother had been residing with at the time, according to several of Brewer’s surviving family members.
Shari Robinson, Brewer’s granddaughter, stated, “We simply want it to be brought to light.” We hope that someone will take the time to provide the family answers now that she is gone.
In connection with Brewer’s death, no one has been charged. The District Attorney will review the matter, and the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is still looking into it.
