MERIWETHER COUNTY, Ga. - An elderly woman who was beaten and burned inside her Meriwether County home has died weeks after the attack, the county's coroner confirmed to Channel 2 Action News.
Dorothy Dow, 83, was lying in her bed when three men and a woman kicked in her back door and attacked her in early August, according to police.
"These suspects began to demand money from Miss Dow. She pleaded with them that she didn't have any money. They began to brutally beat her,” Sheriff Chuck Smith said.
The family said Dow’s right and left arms were broken, and she had cuts and bruises all over her face.
The sheriff said the robbers then poured a flammable liquid on the victim and lit it.
Dow did everything she could to survive and call for help.
"She remembered she had a gallon of water she filled her breathing machine with. With those broken hands, she took that top off the gallon of water and poured it on her head to put out the flames,” said her daughter-in-law, Beth Dow.
Dorothy Dow then managed to crawl to another room to get her cellphone and call 911.
She was in the hospital in critical condition for weeks and died Saturday afternoon.
"That part's not real. We still can't put our hands around...that she was murdered," Dow said.

Drop them into a pit, all on camera, and toss in one loaded gun. Then toss in a small bit of food and water from time to time, and let them kill each other. Then torch the last one alive. Fill back in with dirt, and move on to the next show.
Poor woman. The perps deserve a long and painful death.
Agreed.
Young blacks targeting solo elderly white.
Pretty much what these things are.
Now, that’s funny. I went to high school with a girl whose parents wanted to sound all cosmopolitan, so they named her Yvonne. All well and good, except they pronounced it Wye-vahn.
>>Even, ‘justice’ for the perps won’t be any kind of justice.<<
That poor woman had to have suffered horrific pain before she died unless they put her into a medically induced coma. And even then, we don’t really know that the person experiences, only that they don’t remember anything when they do wake up.
Any more, we are seeing more and more raw evil in our daily lives. More and More of us are experiencing it as our loved ones are tortured and murdered.
You NEVER, ever, get over it, you just learn to live with it as well as your altered existence. Justice is limited to the law and whatever the law spells out, but that’s where the human spirit comes in to refuse to allow bitterness to take root and grow. That however doesn’t, nor should it replace the penalties that our laws provide. Those are needed, too. One, to get this evil off off the streets to protect society from further injury and to cleanse society from this kind of evil, 2) to impose a righteous punishment (sins of the flesh will be punished in the flesh) upon people who refuse to discipline themselves.
I stand in support of the death penalty, because under the right circumstances it’s the best choice to accomplish both of what was said above. It doesn’t do much to deter others from committing capitol crimes, but it does cleanse and protect society both in and out of prison, and it’s an apt punishment for this kind of evil. Let’s not forget, sometimes people are imprisoned unjustly and simply because they can’t prove their innocence. And, just because a person has committed a crime requiring imprisonment doesn’t necessarily mean he/she deserves to die at the hands of another.
Does anybody remember BTK? Did you know that when he received his sentence, he was supposed to be deprived of the kinds of items he used to exploit his victims such as magazine pictures and such? Did you know he has his own cell, his own television, his own computer and has privileges that other prisoners DON’T have??? I speak to people all the time who’ve actually SEEN this. And they resent it.
Is such a privileged existence in prison ‘justice’?
Maybe a TV in the hallway that he can’t control if he’s locked up 24/7 ...like the other prisoners get, but to have his OWN??? And it’s on OUR hard earned dollar???
I know children whose dogs were stolen from them by him, and then the dogs were killed to test his killing methods.
That’s not justice and those families suffered, too.
It’s sad to think that some refuse to believe in a ‘JUST’ God, because that unbelief makes life ....unimportant and contributes toward more injustice. But if you know that if you have to face stuff at the resurrection and judgement, that you didn’t get a pardon for evil without repentance...If you knew that for SURE...actions would be different.
God help us.
That poor woman. Such an awful way to die.
Prayers for the repose of her soul and for comfort and healing for her family.
Like the ' in 'pha? Pronounced Apostripha?
God bless her soul and comfort her family. May they find peace. Help them, Lord!
And G’onorrhea
Evil. RIP.
I believed when Obama was elected the gates of hell opened and darkness was let loose on this land. Nothing I have seen since then has changed my mind.

Unfortunate but mandatory nowadays.
Even when I’m sitting on the crapper...Mr. G21 is close by.
Right. Because they could be any color, such as the white trash meth heads recently that injected their daughter with meth, raped, and then murdered her.
Knee-jerk race-baiting is totally counterproductive.
How do you think Donald Trump, who is trying to court minority voters, would be treated if he made such flippant comments?
Do you want to win this election, or score brownie points for guessing right, albeit potentially alienating voters who might be critically necessary in helping Trump win?
Donald Trump isn't writing off minority voters, so I'd think twice before engaging in such broad-brushing...
Vote Trump!
There is a clip of Allen responding to a reporters question with that answer that plays at the civil rights museum at Olympic park.....right across from the Coca Cola exhibit. If you haven’t been it is worthwhile....except gor the top floor which is about Palestinians and other communist nonsense
“God help us.”
He’s our only hope. And so many have turned away from Him, or, thanks to the Socialists and Statists, have been brainwashed away from God and His Mercy.
You have just confirmed for me that America is done. It's over! Someone just needs to pull the plug.
So you're insinuating that I'm a racist? That is so racist of you.
You sure are doing a lot of "speculating" about my comment: Why even bother speculating about the perps?
As I see it, all you are concerned about is getting Trump elected and you have the gall to tell me my comment is "Knee-jerk race-baiting is totally counterproductive."
You, apparently, have absolutely no consideration for the victim of this horrendous crime, or her family. And forget about respect for life, the rule of law or property.
So why don't you just hurry on down to the jail where these 5 "victims" are currently incarcerated. Let's not waste the opportunity to save them from making a horrendous mistake and voting for someone besides Trump in November. Make sure and take some voter registration forms with you.
And be sure and tell them, "Vote Trump!"
My apology for the perps not being "white trash meth heads." BTW, that is being pretty judgmental of you.
Finally, my apologies to any past, present or future murderers (of any race, religion, citizenship, nationality, ethnicity or gender identify) out there who might be considering voting for Donald Trump. I hope I haven't offended you! We want and need your vote in November. </sarc>
I think that's counterproductive.
I don't know that I accused you "knee-jerk race-baiting". I simply opined my belief that such a thing is counterproductive in a time period where Donald Trump is trying to reach out to some of the very same people who would rightly offended by some of the racial insensitivity that is on display at times. If that weren't the case, we wouldn't see so so many "Post #123 deleted by moderator" messages.
So I wasn't particularly singling you out for criticism.
Part of the reason I responded to your post in the first place was because it was a relatively mild post, not because it wasn't.
I hope Trump is successful in his minority outreach, and indeed I think it could be critical to his ultimate victory.
Vote Trump!
Your intent Sargon is to discourage the rest of us who live in black populations or recognize our realities from speaking out about the truth that 3% of the population commits over half our violent crimes
Either because you’re soft or can’t handle the truth or have your own personal agenda and I frankly suspect the latter
So go ahead and criticize me and call me whatever you like
Race baiting doesn’t scare me and the day it no longer scares a majority of decent traditionalist Americans is the day we get our country back
Since when is the truth counterproductive?
Sargon has always been this way
Sargon identifies or empathizes with minority persecution and feels the need to lecture all of us for recognizing truths that affect our daily lives and may kill our children or rape our women
Young fatherless black males are the drunk renegade Commanches or Vikings or philistines of our time
They are a threat more often than not to everyone they come in contact with including themselves
But we are supposed to ignore or at least not verbalize our realities about their behavior and instead focus on the few exceptions here and there and pretend they are the rule and for Gods sake let’s not hold them accountable
It’s a direct line from that gobbledegook to reparations and white entitlement and condemnations of the cops for black cultural dysfunctionality
But Sargon in his irrationality is like a Speilberg preachy movie....verbalizing concern or action over the threat from thug culture leads to Nazism and white supremacy and genocide.....so just endure it and watch your birthright circle the toliet rim
Yes Donald Trump is making outreach to all minorities.....blacks and Latinos in particular .....but it ain’t the problem minorities he’s aiming for is it?
We as a people have to push back against forces trying to destroy us whether black on white violence or Islam or progressives in general
Now they and others are one target mass
I think Trump knows this
Btw....I don’t condemn Sargon...in my youth I was more Sargon than wardaddy...no question.....idealism and cultural and racioethnic relativism....yep....been there done that....preaching at others is cheap virtue.....and I did it too
But I grew up and became a realist and defiant but I cannot condemn Sargon I just thinks he or she is misguided
