Anchorwoman dies in hospital after beating

? An Arkansas television anchorwoman died Saturday, several days after she didn’t answer her wake-up call and was found beaten in her home, hospital officials said.

Anne Pressly, 26, died at St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Margaret Preston said.

In a statement released by the hospital, Pressly’s parents, Guy and Patti Cannady, asked for privacy as they grieved.

Pressly was beaten around the head, face and neck. She had been unable to communicate with her family or police while being kept sedated in the intensive care unit.

Police have yet to identify a suspect, though detectives have combed the area around Pressly’s home in the Heights neighborhood – a mix of bungalows and mansions near the Little Rock Country Club.
