An autopsy revealed a soldier suffered 68 stab wounds leading to her death May 2024, ABC News reported.

The death of PFC. Katia Dueñas Aguilar, a 23-year-old Fort Campbell soldier, shocked the community after an autopsy report revealed she suffered nearly 70 stab wounds, according to ABC News. Aguilar was found dead in her home in Tennessee this past May.

The medical examiner determined that sharp force injuries to the neck, including at least 55 stab wounds and 13 incised wounds, were the cause of death, which was ruled a homicide, Leaf Chronicle reported. The toxicology report for Aguilar revealed a blood alcohol content of 0.161 and traces of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), often associated with use as a date rape drug, on the day of her death. The report noted that the GHB concentration of 30 mcg/mL falls below the threshold typically linked to causing light sleep.

The United States surpassed 18 million reported Covid-19 cases on Monday, figures from Johns Hopkins University showed, as the virus surges nationwide. When it comes to vaccination priority, long-term care residents and health workers are at the front of the line. Maryland crematorium owner Dorota Marshall hopes that her workers going to do pickups and regularly entering hospitals, hospices, nursing homes and residences, get the vaccine in the next round. Marshall says "We visit homes where people recently died from Covid or family members are positive, so absolutely I think we are front line workers."
