BATH TWP. – The death of an 82-year-old woman found outside an assisted living facility early Friday is under investigation by police.

Police were called to Timber Ridge Village assisted living in the 16000 block of Park Lake Rd. after a snow plow driver clearing the parking lot shortly after 7 a.m. located her “curled up on the north end of the parking lot,” Bath Township Police Chief Lyle Lindemulder said in a release.

He said the woman was a resident of the facility and staff were notified and carried the woman inside.

Meridian Township Fire Department and Bath Township police and fire department personnel attempted to treat the woman for what Lindemulder said was extreme cold exposure.

2. Senior residences cannot possibly keep up with the needs of residents. They are short-staffed all

across the country. Hospitals as well. We are in trouble with our most vulnerable folks.
