United States: A man from West Virginia was charged last week with brutally beating his sister, who awoke from a two-year coma as well as named him as her assailant, has died, as per the officials.

The 55-year-old Daniel Palmer was booked into South Central Regional Jail in Charleston on July 15, charged with attempted murder and wounding for the month of June 2020 attack on his sister Wanda Palmer.

Palmer was uncooperative while in custody, as well as during booking procedures at the jail. The West Virginia Department of Homeland Security shared the information in a statement.

Moreover, on Wednesday, he was taken to Charleston Area Medical Centre General Hospital after an evaluation by jail medical staff, as per the officials.

According to the information, he was pronounced dead on Thursday.

The West Virginia Department of Homeland Security ruled out suicide as a cause of death, but no further details of his death were given.

Wanda Palmer was seriously beaten in her trailer in Cottageville, West Virginia, on June 10, 2020. She was discovered so badly bludgeoned as well as covered in blood that responding officers assumed she was mortally injured, as per the complaint.

Along with this, for the next, she was in a comatose state.

She began to regain some consciousness last month as well as pointed to her brother as the person who assaulted her.

When asked why Daniel assaulted her, Wanda stated that he was “mean,” according to a complaint in the case.

At the time of an initial court appearance last Friday, Palmer became combative, and deputies had to drag him out of the courthouse.

Furthermore, Palmer had long denied any involvement in his sister’s beating. Investigators said that the brother had always been a person of interest and that a witness mentioned in the statement “that he saw Daniel Palmer in the front doorway at Wanda’s trailer at midnight on the night she was assaulted,” according to the complaint.
