The woman, identified at 36-year-old Lydia Wisner, was taken to Grinnell Regional Medical Center where she was later pronounced dead. The state medical examiner’s office is performing an autopsy.
The incident remains under investigation by the Poweshiek County Sheriff’s office, Poweshiek County Attorney’s office and the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation.
