DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — The family of a 97-year-old Iowa woman who died of the coronavirus is questioning why a Davenport hospital released her while she was still sick and did not inform her family that she had been sent home. The Quad-City Times reports that Helen Lowery died two days after she was found unconscious in a chair in her apartment on Oct. 21 by a maintenance worker.

Grandson Michael Lowery says her family had no idea she had been sent home, even though he had asked to be informed. A hospital spokesman did not immediately return phone and email messages seeking comment.
