SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (AP)—The 92-year-old sister of boxing great Joe Louis, was found frozen to death outside her apartment at an assisted-living center.
The body of Vunies High, who had Alzheimer’s disease, was found Monday outside The Heatherwood retirement complex in Southfield, a Detroit suburb, said Capt. Tom Colombo of Southfield emergency medical services.
High, who spent 25 years as a teacher and counselor for Detroit Public Schools, was last seen Sunday. When she was found, she was dressed only in pajamas and was wearing one shoe, with the other lying nearby. An autopsy shows she died of hypothermia.

That's awful, how could she freeze to death

A day before her brother is honoured with a HBO documentary as well.

[Douglas]

She must have gotten locked out. That's horrible.

...didn't Joe have Alzhiemers? She may have had that or a form of dementia which could explain what she would be doing outside in the cold in only pajamas and with one shoe off

It is a shame

Aww poor thing, thats a real shame. My condolensces to the family members. Someone at that home should have noticed, or did she wander off at night? Unfortunate.
