The 75-year-old woman was found on her property, her body partially eaten, and police will provide more information once her full autopsy results are completed in the next couple of weeks, Pataskala Police Chief Bruce Brooks told the news outlet.
Westergaard was planning to leave her home to visit her niece’s home in Norton, Ohio. The niece later contacted police after she didn’t hear from Westergaard, the Columbus-Post Dispatch noted, citing a police incident report.
