A 61-year-old grandmother in Queens has died weeks after she woke up from a coma after she was bashed in the head with a rock more than two months ago.
earlier in February, they said it was nothing short of a miracle.
However, on Monday, Eyewitness News learned that Ma had died. Her cause of death is homicide based on complications of a traumatic head injury. The once outgoing, friendly and kind grandmother was sweeping her Jackson Heights sidewalk after Thanksgiving last year when someone bashed her on the head with a rock.
She had since been in a coma at Elmhurst Hospital until she showed signs of hope when she opened her eyes and waved to her husband.The victim's husband is hoping he will not be allowed to destroy other lives "Before this incident, he was arrested 14 times. If he was released again, it's highly possible he will attack other people again," Zanxin Gao said.
