Police are searching for a suspect who fatally assaulted a fellow patient inside Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx<\/a> last month, law enforcement sources said.<\/p>\n

According to the NYPD, Cynthia Vann, of Concourse Village, was admitted to NYC Health + Hospitals\/Lincoln on Sept. 10 for an unrelated medical condition when she was punched multiple times in the head by another patient as she slept and required emergency surgery.<\/p>\n

Vann remained hospitalized in critical condition until she died on Sept. 27. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later determined her death to be a homicide, authorities said Tuesday.\n<\/p>\n

Vann\u2019s daughter, Taneisha, told News 12<\/a> that her mother\u2019s attacker was her hospital roommate and that the facility had informed the family the roommate had a history of violence.<\/p>\n

Police sources confirmed the suspect was Vann\u2019s roommate and fled the hospital after the assault. The individual remains at large.\n<\/p>\n

No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.\n<\/p>\n
