Homeless woman buried alive on Central Coast beach
OCEANO, Calif.—A homeless woman died after being buried by three men on a Central Coast beach—a fate that the victim's family described as her greatest fear.
Patricia Ann Kalbskopf's neice Lisa Cruz said this weekend that her aunt's fear of burial was so acute that she made family members promise to cremate her after her death.
Three men are being held on involuntary manslaughter charges in Kalbskopf's death after they allegedly poured sand over her while she was passed out drunk Wednesday at the Oceano Dunes, causing her to suffocate.
Investigators say they don't believe that the men, who were also drinking, intended to kill Kalbskopf, but that their actions resulted in her death.
Cruz says the family plans to respect the 53-year-old's wishes by cremating her.
