PITTSFIELD â The âsudden, tragicâ death Tuesday of Berkshire County Sheriffâs Office dispatcher Sheila Hughes, known for her âcalm voice,â has sent a shock through the Sheriffâs Office and larger community.
Berkshire County Sheriff Thomas Bowler said Wednesday morning that there are âunanswered questions here,â since Hughes, 60, was not known to have an illnesses that might have caused her to die so suddenly.
âI spoke to her fiance this morning,â Bowler said. âHe and the family are distraught. Theyâre looking for some answers medically, as we all are.â
Bowler said he had few details, but that it is his understanding that Hughes was home on a day off when she died in the morning, and fell somewhere in the house. Their barking dog alerted her fiance.
Death came alone this year.
As COVID-19 swept through nursing homes and snatched breath from people in hospital emergency departments, families were kept away.
To keep them safe from the virus, and to keep the heath care workers safe, family members had to watch their loved ones die through glass. The lucky ones got to stand outside a window, where some families stood vigil for days. The less lucky had to say their goodbyes through flickering video on a cellphone. And some only learned of a death when a doctor called them afterward.
âIt was heart-wrenching,â said Chris-Anne Mumblo of watching her mother-in-law die through a window. âWe were forced to watch her suffer and say goodbye through a window, watching as she drew her last breaths.â
