BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) - Authorities say an 88-year-old woman has been found dead outside her home in southwestern Montana.

Bozeman Daily Chronicle reports (https://bit.ly/2hOyRNp ) that the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office found Betty Jean Schneiter outside her Belgrade home Tuesday morning.

The woman had been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.



Sheriff’s Capt. Jason Jarrett says a preliminary investigation suggests Schneiter’s death was mostly likely weather-related. Overnight low temperatures had dropped as low as 16 below zero.
