Sheila Wobbeking, age 78, passed away one week after her daughter Nicole Wobbeking, age 49, was already in custody on felony and misdemeanour assault charges stemming from the incident that occurred on June 27, according to a news release issued by the Maple Grove police department. A Minnesota grandmother of seven was discovered dead several days after allegedly being pushed down stairs and hit with an unopened can of pasta sauce by her own daughter.
According to a criminal complaint obtained by McClatchy News, the violent altercation started when Sheila Wobbeking came over to Nicole Wobbeking’s home, which was owned by Nicole Wobbeking’s mother. Nicole Wobbeking was living there with her mother. Her body was discovered in the state of Minnesota. However, the results of an autopsy revealed that Sheila Wobbeking died as a result of being assaulted on July 5th, the authorities stated. According to the police, additional charges are being considered by prosecutors in light of her passing.
According to the allegations in the complaint, she proceeded to attack her mother with an unopened can of pasta sauce, striking her in the ribs and hips. After the assault, the older Wobbeking reported to police that she had discomfort in her ribs and a broken ankle, according to the authorities. The arrest of Nicole Wobbeking took place on June 29, roughly a week before the police were called to the home of Sheila Wobbeking in Plymouth for a “medical emergency. “Maple Grove police stated that “officers attempted life-saving measures but were unsuccessful,” adding that “the Hennepin County Medical Examiner later determined in a post-mortem exam the manner of death was a homicide related to the physical altercation that occurred on June 27.”
Sheila Wobbeking was remembered as a “beautiful soul” and caring grandmother, according to her obituary, which stated that she had two other children, seven grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. The medical examiner’s office determined that she died from pulmonary thromboemboli the result of a broken bone from the attack. Sheila Wobbeking’s death was the result of a pulmonary thromboemboli. “Shelly was a wonderful person who will always be remembered for her wry sense of humour, unending love for her family and friends, and unflinching support for them no matter what. As a result of her involvement as a volunteer in her community and church, she was extraordinarily charitable toward other people, including complete strangers.
