PEORIA, Ill. – What was at first thought to be a suicide of a Peoria woman is now being investigated as the city’s 27th homicide.
Peoria County Coroner Jamie Harwood identifies the victim as Danielle Rose Thomas, 33.
Thomas was discovered at her home in the 1900 block of North Dechman Avenue at 12:49 p.m. Wednesday.
Police went there on reports of a possible suicide and found Thomas unresponsive. She was pronounced dead less than an hour later at a local hospital.
Harwood says Thomas suffered “multiple sharp force penetrating wounds.”
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Peoria Police or Greater Peoria Area Crimestoppers.
