A single black hair could help bring clarity to the mysterious death of a 50-year-old Philadelphia woman who choked on a large disinfectant wipe at a care home for people with development difficulties.
Staff found Cheryl Yewdall face down on the floor, lips blue and in a pool of urine. She was taken to a hospital but died five days later. The medical examiner’s office later said it couldn't determine how the 7-by-10-inch wipe got in her airway -- leaving unresolved whether Yewdall’s death was accidental or a homicide. No charges have been filed.
