Clerk Dies After Hotel Robbery

POSTED: 5:16 am PST November 19, 2008
UPDATED: 3:21 pm PST November 19, 2008

A woman assaulted during a robbery at a Carlsbad resort was found dead a day later on her boat in Oceanside.

Friends found 67-year-old Barbara Novelich dead on Monday morning.

Authorities say Novelich was working as a clerk at the Tamarack Beach Resort early Sunday when a man demanding money punched her in the face and stole her car.

The county medical examiner could not immediately determine a cause of death, or say whether it was related to the assault.

Novelich had refused medical treatment from authorities after the assault, but friends say her son took her to a hospital on Sunday morning and she had been treated for facial lacerations and released.

No suspects have been arrested in the assault and robbery.
