West Wendver Police and Elko county Sheriff’s detectives are investigating what is now being described as an “unattended death of a 29 year old Taylorsville woman at the Montego Bay Tuesday morning.
According to West Wendeover Police Chief Burdel Welsh Malorrie Morgan, 29, of Taylorsville Utah was found dead in her hotel room at the Montego Bay Casino/Resort Tuesday morning
Morgan had arrived in Wendover Monday with common-law husband Mike Rasmussen also of Taylorsville.
“There were no preliminary signs of foul play,” said WWPD Chief Burdel Welsh. .”However the autopsy and toxicology reports have not come in yet.
The dead woman in the daughter of Nephi, Utah Police Chief Mike Morga and the mother of six children.
But while no signs of foul play have been discovered a cryptic blog post does imply it.
“This is sad our beautiful niece. I hope justice will be served and the truth comes out.” wrote Carla Covington on the High Desert Advocate’s web page. “We have faith In the Nevada police and all officers investigating this. Praying the truth comes out.love and miss you beautiful.”
Other bloggrs took Covington to task:
“I just wanted to clarify that Mallorie Morgan (Rasmussen) & Michael Rasmussen where in Wendover for the Super bowl with their 7 children (one is her step child) all of which where in the room together,” wrote A Family Member a day later
“She did not die alone, she was surrounded by her loving family who are clearly devastated, and who ever you are Carla Covington? I have never heard your name in 14 years, be assured she was loved and did not die “unattended”
Her father loves his daughter deeply and is devastated to say the least, and the comments you have made are purely inappropriate. Please refrain from making false statements in which cause more pain to the FAMILY.”
A blogger identifying herself as Someone who’s lost a parent added:
This is truly tragic. People should refrain from posting devastating comments and from implying things that shouldn’t be implied. These children don’t need additional negativity on an already horrible situation. Before you post anything hurtful maybe think to yourself, “would this hurt me if someone wrote it about my dead family member?”. My heart goes out to these kids & to their dad! May you always remember your mommy as a queen & may the happy memories comfort you when things are hard.
