Cross Fork Woman Died of Hypothermia

An autopsy shows that the Cross Fork woman found in Cross Fork Creek in Potter County died Sunday of hypothermia. The coroner says the autopsy on 50 year-old Patricia Blouse revealed that she died after spending significant time in the creek in Stewardson Township Sunday night. State Police say the incident was likely exacerbated by alcohol intoxication. They also say a second person, 55 year-old James Gelzenlichter was found alive in the creek and taken to Bucktail Medical Center in Revono. He remains hospitalized after suffering from hypothermia too.
