MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - The woman who suffered a heat stroke after being left inside an assisted living facility’s van has died, the attorney representing her family confirmed.






According to Attorney J.P. Sawyer, 83-year-old Dorris Mitchell passed away at her home Tuesday morning. The family is in the process of making arrangements for Mitchell. Her funeral is expected to take place Thursday.






Her family released the following statement:






"Our family grieves today for our mother, Doris Mitchell. Only weeks ago, our mother experienced an ordeal that none of us could possibly imagine. She was locked in a closed van, alone, for over six hours on a day on which the heat index exceeded 105 degrees. The physical and emotional trauma of what she went through has broken our hearts.






When our mother got to the hospital, she had severe heat stroke and failing kidneys. Her fever was so high, they had to pack our 83 year old mother in ice. We have been praying for a recovery, but the episode was ultimately too much for our mother to bear.
