The cause of death for a 75-year-old woman after a rage-fuelled brawl over a Tim Hortons order has been named as acute exacerbation of congestive heart failure.
On May 13, Anita Grayson entered a Tims in Fort Wayne, Ind., with a gripe she had over her drive-thru order. Police said the irate senior confronted and shouted at a 17-year-old store employee.
A 20-year-old shift manager then intervened, ordering Grayson to leave the store. The woman, however, wasn’t having any of it.
Instead, she headed towards the teen employee, and the supervisor responded by placing her hands against Grayson to block her from reaching the employee.
Grayson then shoved the supervisor backwards and punched her in the face.
The incident, which was captured on surveillance cameras, ended after more Tim Hortons employees separated Grayson and the supervisor. Minutes later, Grayson was lying on the floor, unresponsive.
Emergency personnel transported her to hospital, where she later died.
‘No significant contributory injuries’
The Allen County Coroner’s Office stated Grayson died of “acute exacerbation of congestive heart failure in the setting of physical altercation,” per news outlet WANE .
The coroner’s office found that there were “no significant contributory injuries” that led to the woman’s death, WPTA reported.
After Grayson died, police released an edited video of the Tim Hortons altercation. Grayson’s family, however, is pushing for the release of the full video, WPTA reported.
No charges have been laid in connection with the altercation.
The woman’s family set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral and legal costs.
