The Lakewood, N.J. police shield.<\/p><\/div>\n

Authorities say a Lakewood woman died while attempting to walk home from a neighbor\u2019s house, two doors away, early Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

The woman, Olivia Benito, 66, <\/span><\/span><\/span>was found at 7:04 a.m. Sunday morning by the neighbor, who last saw Benito alive after midnight when she left the David\u2019s Court townhouse, said Al Della Fave, spokesman for the Ocean County Prosecutor\u2019s Office. The neighbor found Benito face-down in the snow, next to her car when she went out to clear snow Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

According to Della Fave, the deceased woman and her neighbor had both attended an event at the Lakewood Elks lodge that night, then stopped at the neighbor\u2019s house afterward. \u201cA number\u201d of drinks were consumed in that time period, Della Fave said. Benito\u2019s husband, he said, was under the impression that his wife decided to sleep at the neighbor\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe preliminary investigation found no outward signs of trauma or foul play at this time<\/span>,\u201d Della Fave said.<\/p>\n

Lakewood police, the prosecutor\u2019s office and the Ocean County Sheriff\u2019s Department are awaiting the results of an autopsy by the county medical examiner\u2019s office before making a final determination in the investigation Della Fave said. <\/span><\/p>\n
