Early morning hours in the 8400 block of E. Parmer Lane were disrupted by a disturbance, leading Travis County Sheriff’s Office deputies to an urgent scene, according to a report by TCSO. A female in her 30s, found lying on the pavement and in dire need of medical assistance, was attended to by deputies with CPR before being transported to the hospital, where she later died.
