A New Jersey woman was found frozen to death in the snow near her home on Sunday morning, authorities said.

Olivia Benito, 66, had stopped by a neighbor's house for drinks after they left a benefit event at an Elks Club in Lakewood, New Jersey, Al Della Fave, spokesman for the Ocean County prosecutor's office, said in a news release.

The neighbor told police that Benito had some alcoholic beverages during the course of the evening, Della Fave said. She left the neighbor's townhouse at about midnight to walk to her home two doors away, he said.

The neighbor said she discovered Benito face down in snow when she went out to clear her car of snow at about 7 a.m. on Sunday, Della Fave said. She was pronounced dead at the scene by ambulance personnel, he said.

Police found no outward signs of trauma or foul play but the death remains under investigation, Della Fave said.

The temperature at 7 a.m. on Sunday in the Lakewood area was 10 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

Benito is not a common Spanish last name, it would be rare actually. Automatically I thought it was Italian.
 
My Italian countrymen still dropping dead.
RIP my fellow Torontonian paesan.

Ok, this one is personal.

Carmela Anobile
Tuesday, August 11th, 1931 - Saturday, July 11th, 2020

Carmela was my fathers oldest sister (my aunt). I now have one Italian aunt left, all the rest (uncles/aunts) are gone.
She was instrumental in getting my father to Toronto in 1952.

RIP Zia Carmela

Thanks for the condolences pals. I haven't seen her in person since 1997 at my grandmothers funeral.

I'm not very sad, she lived an excellent long life with sons/daughters/grandchildren and a comfy home, she enjoyed all the luxuries and conveniences and even when they put her in a home it was top of the line private place for well heeled Italians - she had cancer and her family never told her of the diagnosis (a month ago) to spare her from knowing she didn't have long to live.

I won't be attending, just wished my cousins well/offered condolences and will check out the funeral visitation service live stream on zoom Tuesday afternoon.
