The Champaign County Nursing Home experienced the loss of 78-year-old Sonya Kington on June 17. She was found outside in the courtyard in the afternoon and the home is under surveillance and investigation by the Illinois State Police. County Administrator Rick Snider expressed condolences to the family and friends of the resident.

The appointed coroner, Duane Northrup, said that there was no immediate sign of trauma or injuries on the elderly woman, but the full autopsy could take anywhere from two to three months.
