‘Intentionally left in the cold’: 97-year-old grandmother froze to death after family member left her in heatless home without her walker or phone, coroner says

Corrye Brewer

Background: The intersection in Calhan, Colo. where the body of Corrye Brewer was located in January (Google Maps). Inset: Corrye Brewer (National Center For Missing and Endangered Inc.).

The death of a Colorado woman whose body was found in January was ruled a homicide by the county’s coroner, and one of her own family members may be held responsible.

Corrye Brewer, 97, was reported missing on Jan. 25 by her family during a visit, which triggered a senior alert from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation at the time. In their description of Brewer, the CBI included the fact that the grandmother “suffer[ed] from a cognitive impairment which may affect her memory,” making her even more vulnerable in the frigidly cold weather.

Two days later, human remains were found near an intersection in Calhan, Colorado. The body was later identified as Brewer.
