A California woman brutally beaten while walking at Riverside park weeks ago has died.

On November 1, 60-year-old Susan Wagner was found badly beaten close to Doty-Trust Park in the La Sierra neighborhood of Riverside. She passed away Wednesday after spending weeks in the hospital, according to ABC7.

Authorities found Wagner after a passerby spotted the woman on the ground, barely conscious, near the southwest entrance of the park.

Police said security footage showed two people walking in the area at the time of the attack, at around  7:30 p.m. and 8:50 p.m., along with several vehicles passing by. Authorities are searching for the people seen in the video for questioning.
