Gettysburg Borough Police were dispatched at about 7:50 a.m. on Jan. 8 to the first block of Carlisle Street for a Gettysburg woman who was found on her porch in freezing conditions.

The Adams County Coroner was called to the scene and pronounced Erin Britt Morrow, 46, dead, according to Gettysburg Borough Police Chief Joseph Dougherty.

Morrow's cause and manner of death is pending, and the coroner is waiting on toxicology reports, Adams County Coroner Pat Felix said.
