Indiana prosecutors have revealed no charges will be filed over the death of a 75-year-old Tim Hortons customer, who died following a bust-up with a drive-thru manager.

Anita Grayson suffered a fatal flare-up of congestive heart failure following the May 13 fight in the Fort Wayne coffeehouse – and her death sparked an investigation as authorities initially struggled to rule whether it was accidental or a homicide.

Allen County prosecutors on Friday revealed no charges would be filed, clearing any staffers of wrongdoing, according to a report seen by The Post. Grayson, a mom of four, charged into the coffeehouse just after 8 a.m. and berated a 17-year-old staffer upset over her order, prompting the shift manager, 20, to intervene.

"Then, two other Tim Hortons staffers rushed in and tried to pull the pair apart, but Grayson then pulled a clump of hair from the shift manager.

She was then seen putting clumps of hair in her bag before being found unresponsive."

Riots and benjamin crump on the way.

I guess she should have known that attacking someone and pulling out clumps of their hair was an inappropriate response to not liking her food order. The people who were attacked should sue her estate for all it is worth.

Grayson’s family hired civil rights attorney Ben Crump to pursue potential litigation and her daughter, Tawnda Grayson, called for justice. “She was the best mother anyone could ask for — hardworking, compassionate, selfless, and always willing to help others before herself,” Tawnda Grayson said.

She didna do nuffin.

Age alone does not quiet a bitter and angry soul.

That’s the way I wanna go. Congestive heart failure after a pointless scuffle with a donut shop manager.

Tim Horton’s food isn’t worth fighting over.

Her manner of death has been classified as “undetermined,” which means the medical examiner cannot say with medical certainty that the physical altercation caused her death, rather than her preexisting condition.

Video not worth your time at this link but the article is

The medical examiner is a coward. It he examined more than the body, meaning video evidence it would be obvious that the woman's inability to govern her emotions led to her death.

"The people who were attacked should sue her estate for all it is worth."

Well, that is a thought. She was the attacker and the fact that the woman died could cause a considerable amount of emotional injury.

“...a fatal flair-up of congestive heart failure...”

What the bleep?!

I’m dang sure that was not what was written on the death certificate under proximate or immediate.

If folks want their hair to stand on end, they should check out the changes made to how coroners work, how death certificates work after CoupFlu.

How long before Carnival Cruise can start feeding the sharks with brawling ferals? There is only one way to fix these animals.

She was just turning her life around and trying to get her GED!

I’d be interested if someone has done a background check on this woman to see if this is her first dust-up like this.

Somehow I doubt this is her first time lacking self control at her age.

What did she think it was? Popeye’s Fried Chicken? Act civilly and there’s no problem.

[desertsolitaire]

She had plans to attend community college soon.

She thought she was at Waffle House.

Actually, the old lady did in fact do somepun.

The old lady created a scenario where her greedy kids could mount a law suit that was enrichment with free money

Good grief! She knew she was elderly with heart problems so it’s her own fault for rushing in to attack a 20-year-old, if I read that right.

Wait, they have Tim Horton’s in Indiana?!
