Woman found dead inside Granger home by family, officials say

A family member found the woman dead inside the home after not hearing from her for several days. Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody said the evidence from the scene suggests the woman had been dead inside the home for at least a couple days.

GRANGER — Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody tweeted Tuesday evening that police were investigating a scene of a dead person found inside a Granger home.

Chody said in the tweet that the scene was being investigated as a homicide. By June 25, officials said investigators ruled out homicide but were still treating the death as suspicious. The body showed no signs of foul play or trauma.

Chody rescinded the "homicide" term in a media press briefing Tuesday evening. Chody said at approximately 7:26 p.m. Tuesday, Granger police received a call about a check of welfare/cardiac arrest to the 700 block of East Fox Street. When Granger police arrived at the scene, officers found a white woman in her 40s dead inside the home, Chody said.

According to Chody, a family member found the woman dead inside the home after not hearing from her for several days. He said the evidence from the scene suggests the woman had been dead inside the home for at least a couple days.

The family is being questioned at the Williamson County Sheriff's Office, but Chody was firm in stating that they are not persons of interest in the case.

Chody said there was no risk to the public and the death was an isolated incident. There have not been any arrests made nor have any suspects been taken into custody, according to Chody.
