The woman, who had 24 grandchildren and 31 great-grandchildren, “died peacefully in the hospital after 7:00 p.m. tonight, surrounded by family and loved ones,” the New South Wales State Police said in a statement Wednesday. Police had been called to the home after staff reported that the 5’2″, 95-pound woman was armed after taking a knife from the kitchen.
Hours before her death, authorities announced that Officer White was charged with reckless grievous bodily harm, assault causing actual bodily harm, and common assault. However, he will likely face additional enhanced charges related to Nowland’s death. White had already been suspended with pay. He is scheduled to appear in court on June 5.

NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said she had not yet seen the footage and she would remain private until the investigation was complete. “Ms. Nowland and her family deserve to see this done right.
