An Ohio woman died in her backyard as a result of the harsh winter weather while letting her dog outside, according to authorities.
Eugenia Michele Wadman, 43, was found dead in her backyard on Jan. 19 just before 11 a.m., according to the Huron County Sheriff’s Office, WKYC reports.
Authorities say the doting dog-mom stepped outside with her pooch wearing only “light pajamas” when the misfortune fell on Saturday night.
Wadman “appeared to have fallen and sustained injuries consistent with struggling and crawling on the snow-and-ice-covered yard,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement, according to the sheriff’s office.
She is suspected to have died from hypothermia after being exposed to the mid-to-low 20-degree temperatures overnight.
A preliminary investigation indicates she may have injured herself and fallen onto the icy ground where she was immobilized due to the cold, according to WKYC.
An investigation is ongoing and awaits full autopsy results though no foul play is currently suspected.
The condition of her dog was unknown.
