So, he was 75. Did he have any debilitating illnesses?
I mean he must have, otherwise, I seriously doubt his daughter could have strangled him.

GLASGOW, Ky. (WBKO) - A woman in Glasgow who was arrested on a murder charge earlier this month has been released after a judge agreed to a partially secured bond worth $50,000 when her bail was initially set at $500,000.
Back in July, authorities received complaints regarding suspicious circumstances surrounding the recent death of Michael Logsdon. Officials then conducted a death investigation with the assistance of the Barren County Coroner’s Office and The Kentucky State Medical Examiner’s Office.
On Nov. 3, Cheryl Leighanne Bennett was arrested and charged with the murder of her father, Michael Logsdon. She was booked in the Barren County Jail on a $500,000 bond.
According to Logsdon’s death certificate, which WBKO News obtained from his other daughter, Logsdon’s cause of death was listed as asphyxia, strangulation, bi-pap machine turned off.
Earlier this month, a nurse wrote a letter to Judge Alexander and Judge Pendleton stating that Bennett had significant health issues that Barren County Jail could not accommodate and that it was not safe for her to remain under their care.
On Wednesday morning, court records indicate that Bennett was released after David Bennett paid $50,000 cash. Bennett was to be placed under home incarceration with an ankle monitor.
It’s unclear why Judge Pendleton reduced Bennett’s bond, as the document doesn’t state a reason. During the Nov. 14 hearing, Bennett’s attorney, Johnny Bell argued reasons as to why she should be given a reduced bond; however, medical was not a reason proved by him.

So, he was 75. Did he have any debilitating illnesses?
I mean he must have, otherwise, I seriously doubt his daughter could have strangled him.
“According to Logsdon’s death certificate, which WBKO News obtained from his other daughter, Logsdon’s cause of death was listed as asphyxia, strangulation, bi-pap machine turned off.”
Bi-pap machine turned off? Anyone know what medical device is being referred to here?
I use a CPAP (continuous, positive air pressure) machine for my sleep apnea/heavy snoring. If it is turned off, I won’t die. (Although… if I start snoring again, my wife…)
Because its a woman murdering a man.
Men are disposable and gynosociety shelters women in all things.

My mother had both severe sleep apnea and severe COPD. When there was a power outage in the night, I had to make sure she was awake and sitting upright until I got the generator started to power her bipap or she could easily have died. My Dad used a C-pap, and could manage without it, although not a good idea to go without it.
It’s unclear whether she’s accused of just turning off his bipap or whether she turned it off and then strangled him. The former could conceivably cause his death if he was as dependent on it as my mother was.
Asphyxiation and strangulation are pretty common methods used commit homicide. But switching off the bi-pap machine had me scratching my head. The link and your explanation helped clear things up. Thanks!
The image I’m getting of the crime is 1) switching off the machine and hoping that is enough to cause death. When that doesn’t produce the desired result, 2) smothering with a pillow, and, when that doesn’t work either, 3) direct, manual strangulation. Just writing it out and realizing who is doing this to whom…pretty cold blooded.
I could not tell from the article what exactly she is accused of. If just the machine turned off, how do they know she did that? Maybe he got up to go to the bathroom in the night (as old men frequently do) and he was half asleep and forgot to turn it back on.
The machine simply being turned off could have resulted in what could be described as “asphyxia and strangulation”.
I cannot imagine doing that to one’s Dad. It’s way beyond what I an comprehend.
