MINNEAPOLIS — The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office now knows the identity of a woman who died in the emergency room at Hennepin Healthcare last week.
On Wednesday the office put out a plea for public help in identifying the woman, who was described as between the ages of 40 and 50 with a light-brown skin complexion and dark brown medium-length hair. Investigators with the medical examiner's office specifically noted a tattoo on her right upper arm that reads "LO. DOWN."
On Thursday morning the medical examiner's office announced that the woman had been identified as 48-year-old Lotis Scroggins. Her cause and manner of death are pending as an investigation continues.
An investigator with the examiner's office told KARE 11 the identification came from a tip generated from the public request for help.
