The New York Post has more on the story:

An American Airlines flight attendant was found dead in a Philadelphia airport hotel room with a sock in her mouth, two days after she was supposed to check out.

The 66-year-old woman from Las Vegas was discovered unresponsive by cleaning staff at the Philadelphia Airport Marriott on Monday evening and medics pronounced her dead around 10:40 p.m.

There were no signs of forced entry or a struggle and no weapons were found inside the room, 6ABC reported, citing police sources.

Sealed prescription bottles were found inside the room, and investigators said she was on “several medications.”

What I want to know is if this could have been an overdose.

The prescription pills were sealed, so could it be an overdose?

The most bizarre part is the cloth stuffed in her mouth.
