In the midst of a Toronto neighborhood rests a 13-1/2 foot bronze and granite monument depicting Alexander Wood, famous for both owning the land on which the community now sits, and for being run out of town due to sexual scandal in the early 1800s.

According to officer Peter Jung, who found her Wednesday morning, she had no food in the room. "She couldn't move in the right way to do anything other than get handfuls of water out of the bathtub faucet," Jung said. "She was just glad we were there.

A neighbor, Larry Nelson, knocked on the woman's locked doors and noticed the woman's car in her garage. "I got that funny feeling there was something wrong," he said. He contacted the woman's landlord, who called police. Nelson told Jung he hadn't seen the woman outside in a while, which was unusual. The officer forced his way inside the house. Nelson said the woman seemed alert. "I walked into the bathroom and she said, 'Hi Larry!'" he said. "I asked if she had heard me rap on the doors, and she said, 'Yes, but what could I do?'"I couldn't believe she was still alive. "The woman was taken to the hospital.
