Boston, MA – Officials have not released many details in this story, but the ones that are out there only lead to more questions.  Back on September 24th, just a month after turning 100 years old, Elizabeth Barrow was found dead in her bed at the nursing home she had lived in for the past 4 years.  Sounds about right, huh?  Well, not really.  She was found with a plastic bag over head and even though there were no signs of a struggle, her death was ruled a homicide by manual strangulation.  Her son says that Barrows was healthy and vibrant despite her age.  The family had taken her out to lunch and shopping just the day before her body was found.  Barrow had a female roommate who was in her 90s, but there is no word on any witness statements.  Considering the son is not blaming the facility, singing it’s praises even, and everyone is remaining tight lipped I am wondering if officials are keeping quiet because they in fact do have a suspect in mind.  Whatever the case, I am anxious to hear how this turns out.  It must suck to live that long only to be denied a peaceful death in your sleep.
