The wife of a long-serving Florida pastor has died just days after being brutally attacked in her home by a man posing as a community service officer.
First Baptist Orlando Church announced that Lucy Pat Curl, wife of Pastor Bill Curl, died Wednesday after being severely beaten and knocked unconscious.
“This morning, Lucy Pat Curl, wife of longtime First Orlando Pastor Bill Curl, passed away following life-threatening injuries last Friday. She has now been healed, and is in the presence of our Savior,” reads the church’s statement.
The accused attacker, Ronald Davis, 55, reportedly posed as a community service officer and forced his way into Curl’s home.
An Orlando Police Department’s arrest affidavit contends that Davis repeatedly hit Curl in the head with a crystal candy jar until she was unconscious.
Curl later told officers that when she awoke, her home was ransacked, and she couldn’t locate her cell phone. She said she stumbled out of the house and into her car and began honking the horn in hopes that a neighbor would come and help her. After 15 minutes of honking, no help arrived.
