VILAS COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – An Oshkosh woman whose body was found outside a store in far northern Wisconsin died from natural causes.
Vilas County sheriff’s officials said Tuesday that foul play is not suspected in the death of 61-year-old Corrine Gerster. Toxicology test results and other lab reports are still pending.
Gerster was found dead last Friday morning outside the Townhouse Store in Presque Isle. Authorities said she was walking a dog home when she collapsed — and the animal then apparently tried to move or drag her.
The dog ripped away part of Gerster’s clothes by tugging on them, in an apparent effort to revive her.
There were rumors that wolves were involved. That’s why the Sheriff’s Department made it a point last weekend to say there was no wolf activity in the place where the woman died.
