Two people have been charged in the death of an 85-year-old woman who was found in cold weather outside an assisted living center near Grand Rapids.
Yahira Zamora is accused of resetting the alarm on a door without determining whether anyone was outside. Denise Filcek is accused of falsely declaring that she had made bed checks of all residents at Crystal Springs Assisted Living Center in Gaines Township.
A resident with dementia, Kathryn Brackett, wandered outside and was found dead on Oct. 27.
Attorney General Bill Schuette says the allegations are "terrifying" for anyone considering a care facility. Zamora and Filcek are due in court Thursday. It wasn't immediately known if they have lawyers who could comment on the charges.
