First responders who arrived at the scene found Harris unconscious but still breathing, though she eventually began foaming at the mouth. Emergency personnel performed CPR before transporting her to a nearby hospital, where she remained in the Intensive Care Unit until her death on Friday, Feb. 22. She was 66.
Chapman was treated by EMS after complaining of chest pains, but was later released.
