NEW YORK (AP) - Police say a 94-year-old Brooklyn woman found with trauma about her body last week has died.

Police went to her apartment last Monday after receiving a 911 call of a family assault. Police say she had trauma about the head and body.

Her 64-year-old son, Mark Farrell, was placed under arrest and charged with attempted murder, attempted assault and criminal possession of a weapon.

Police say the charges are expected to be upgraded after the medical examiner determines the cause of death.

His mother, Dorothy Farrell, died Tuesday.

It wasn’t immediately clear if the 64-year-old Farrell had a lawyer.
