Man Accused of Attacking Woman with Can of Food Charged with Murder After She Died Weeks Later: Police

Jessa Delyon was out for her typical morning walk when she was attacked

An Oregon man is now facing murder charges after the woman he's accused of attacking with a can of food died from her injuries.

The Medford Police Department says Jessa Delyon, 51, died Dec. 5, nearly three weeks after she was attacked on the street.

Anthony Siple, 22, was arrested Nov. 18 after police allege he called 911 and said he had assaulted a woman and described him as making "somewhat incoherent statements.” Several other 911 callers also reported the attack, saying a woman was screaming and a man was assaulting her, according to police.

KDRV, Rogue Valley Times and KOBI5 all report that, according to authorities, Siple allegedly attacked Delyon with a can of food.

Police say Delyon lived in the area of the assault and frequently went on walks in the area. It is believed Delyon and Siple did not know each other prior to the alleged assault.

According to an update posted by Delyon’s daughter on a GoFundMe page, Delyon suffered significant brain injuries before she eventually died.

“We donated her heart, lungs, liver and both kidneys and saved the lives of 5 people,” wrote Delyon’s daughter Moira Cavanaugh. “We also donated her pancreas and skin cells to research. She wanted to do both and I'm so glad I got to make sure she contributed to both organ donation and medical research.”

After Delyon’s death, Siple, who had initially been charged with assault and attempted murder, was charged with two counts of second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter and robbery, police say.

It is not immediately clear if Siple has entered a plea to any of the updated charges. KOBI5 reported that he pleaded not guilty to the original charges. PEOPLE was not immediately able to reach an attorney for him.

The GoFundMe for Delyon’s family has raised over $6,000.
