An Arkansas television anchorwoman died several days after she was found beaten in her home.
An Arkansas television anchorwoman Anne Pressly, 26, died, several days after she was found beaten in her home, hospital officials said.
Anne Pressly died at St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Margaret Preston said. She was beaten around the head, face and neck.
Pressly was discovered Monday morning a half-hour before she was to appear on ABC affiliate KATV's "Daybreak" program.
Her mother went to her home after she didn't answer her regular wake-up call.
The woman had been unable to communicate with her family or police while being kept sedated in the intensive care unit.
Pressly's parents, Guy and Patti Cannady, asked for privacy as they grieved.
"It was our hope, as was yours, that Anne would overcome the injuries inflicted upon her in the brutal attack at her home," the statement read.
"We were with her in her last moments, and although our hearts are broken, we are at the same time comforted by our faith knowing that Anne is now with our heavenly father."
