Bowling Green police investigating death of 71-year-old woman

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- The Bowling Green Police Department is investigating the New Year’s Eve death of a 71-year-old woman.

Multiple officers responded just 6 p.m. Tuesday evening to an area near the intersection of Glen Lily Road and Durbin Drive.
