INDIANAPOLIS—Prosecutors dropped their case against an Indiana woman who was charged in a hit-and-run crash during a southern Indiana protest last summer after learning she died in Colorado earlier this year.
Christi Jane Bennett, 67, was found dead in a Denver hotel room on Feb. 6, according to police. She died of blunt force injuries to the head, though heart disease, high blood pressure, and hardened arteries contributed to her death, according to an autopsy conducted by the Denver medical examiner’s office. Her cause of death is undetermined, though authorities don’t suspect foul play.
