Woman’s death in California blamed on last month’s Napa quake

Officials have said that a woman in California has died from injuries she suffered last month during Napa Valley’s earthquake.

The Associated Press noted that Laurie Anne Thompson was hit in the head by a television when the quake shook the famed wine country region.

The 65-year-old initially did not seek medical treatment. However, the following day, she became dizzy and her family urged her to go to the hospital. She eventually collapsed and was transported by ambulance to the Queen of the Valley Medical Center.

Authorities said that she died there last Friday around 9:35 a.m. local time, from an intracranial hemorrhage.

She is the only recorded death blamed on the earthquake in the state so far.

The 6.0 magnitude quake hit in the early morning hours of Aug. 24, jolting many sleeping residents of the Bay area awake.

The temblor caused hundreds of injuries and left tens of thousands of people without power. The area also sustained millions of dollars in damages.
