An investigation found Nancy Young got into an "unwitnessed" fight with another resident of Pleasant Nursing Home in Springettsbury Township on Dec. 8. As a result of the fight, Young fell and broke her hip.
Young died of complications from the fall on Dec. 15.
"Because the fall was a result of the altercation with another resident, Young's death is ruled a homicide. The coroner's definition of homicide can be broad, referencing death that occurs at the hands of another. This does not mean that the ruling of homicide has legal merit - that may or may not be determined by police, the DA or a court," reads a statement from the York County Coroner's Office.
Springettsbury Township Police have been notified of the death. They are investigating.
