POST FALLS, Idaho – The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the death of an elderly woman, found dead in her home in Post Falls.
The sheriff’s office got a request for a welfare check in the 2900 block of East Hope Avenue around 7:15 Friday night.
The home is about a mile north of Post Falls High School.
