Two people have been arrested in connection with the death of a Colorado woman who was rushed to the hospital after she was found lying on an air mattress in a garage with hip fractures and maggots burrowing into her body. One of those suspects is the victim’s son.
Brian Seitz, the victim’s son, and Laura Prats, Brian Seitz’s girlfriend, were arrested on Wednesday in connection with the death of Sheryl Seitz.
The investigation began when the Arvada Fire Department was called to reports of a sick person at an Airbnb in the 6400 block of Kendall Street. When paramedics arrived, they found Sheryl Seitz, 58, lying on an air mattress in the garage that crews said was covered with filth and maggots.
They rushed her to the hospital where she died the next day. According to hospital records, Sheryl was suffering from bed sores, two hip fractures, a “loosely connected wrist,” ulcers, septic shock and maggots burrowing into her body.
Investigators with the Arvada Police Department learned that the crimes likely occurred at 5830 W. 56th Avenue at an RV storage lot in unincorporated Jefferson County. The victim and the two suspects resided separately at the RV storage lot.
