OCEANO, Calif. (AP) - A homeless woman has died of suffocation
after being buried by three men on a California beach - a fate her
family described as her greatest fear.
Three men were being held on involuntary manslaughter charges in
the death Wednesday of 53-year-old Patricia Ann Kalbskopf.
They allegedly poured sand over her while she was
passed out drunk at some dunes along the state's central coast.
Investigators say they don't believe the men, who were also
drinking, intended to kill Kalbskopf, but their actions resulted in
her death.
Kalbskopf's niece, Lisa Cruz, said her aunt's fear of burial was
so acute she made the family promise to cremate her after her
death. The family plans to honor the request.
