"Officers said a family member called for medical help at around 4:30 p.m., saying they showed up at the home and found Janet in distress."

In distress?
What a strange way to word this!
Was she in distress as in "we've just had a huge argument, she's threatened me with a knife and I'm fearful of my life so get me outta here" or was the family member who arrived putting it mildly because the lady was actually laying there covered in claret and about to take her final breaths?

IMO JMO of course

This is incredibly sad. I wonder what went wrong. She seemed like a devoted grandmother.
