The death of a woman found with her head stuck in a wrought-iron fence in the Lincoln Park area has been ruled accidental by the Cook County medical examiner's office.



Linda Bringman, 64, was discovered around noon Friday in the 1600 block of West Fullerton Avenue, according to Chicago police.



She was lying face down with her head between fence posts. Bringman was taken in critical condition to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center and died three days later, at 11:25 a.m. Monday.



Bringman had lived in the 3100 block of West Fullerton Avenue in Logan Square, about two miles from where she was found.



The cause of death was brain injury and "positional asphyxia" due to being wedged in the fence, an autopsy determined. The death was ruled an accident.
