Terry Buchanan Death – According to Douglas County Sheriff Dan Coverley, a woman from Gardnerville Ranchos was discovered unconscious near Arrowhead Drive on Tuesday morning and was later pronounced dead. The woman, Terry Buchanan, 67, was found in the 900 block of the street, close to her residence.
While the cause of death is yet to be determined pending an autopsy by the Washoe County Medical Examiner, foul play is not suspected at this time, as stated by Coverley. Records from the Douglas County Recorder indicate that Buchanan had been a resident of Douglas County for over 35 years and had been living at the Arrowhead address since the early 2000s.
The Sheriff’s Office released a statement on social media at approximately 8:30 a.m., informing the public about the ongoing investigation. In Nevada, unattended deaths are treated as homicides and require the involvement of an investigator and deputy coroner.
