WESTLAKE, Ohio — A woman is dead, and her husband is in jail after a domestic violence homicide case in Westlake.
The Westlake Police Department and Ohio BCI responded to a home on Friday in the 1600 block of Canterbury Road for a 57-year-old woman who was unresponsive.
Police Capt. Jerry Vogel said the woman's husband called 911.
"He indicated that his wife was unresponsive and he wasn’t exactly sure why, but he needed help," Vogel said.
According to Westlake Police, officers and an ambulance arrived around 10 a.m., and EMS transported the woman, who has been identified as Michele Feather, to St. John's Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. She died on Friday.

"The officers who responded did see a chaotic scene in the house, meaning that things were strewn about, and it did appear there was an altercation," Vogel said.
Police said the woman's husband was taken to the police department to "continue the investigation into the circumstances of the injuries."
"He was assisting somewhat in the investigation; we don’t think he was telling us the whole story on what happened," Vogel said.
Westlake detectives and members of the Ohio BCI executed a search warrant at the home to collect evidence, police said. The husband was subsequently arrested and is facing possible felony charges.
"All indications are that this was an isolated family incident. There are no known outstanding suspects and no danger to the public," police said.
Police said they have responded to domestic situations at the same house at least three to four times before.
"The man was arrested in January of this year for domestic violence," Vogel said.
The husband will have his initial court appearance at the Rocky River Municipal Court on Monday. He is currently being held in jail, police said.
