COLUMBUS, Ga. — A 55-year-old woman has died several days after she was reportedly assaulted inside her home in Columbus, Georgia, and her son has been arrested in connection with the incident, according to authorities.

Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan identified the victim as Camilla Faye Daniel, who died at 6:36 a.m. on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, while receiving treatment in the intensive care unit at Piedmont Columbus Regional.

According to Bryan, Daniel was assaulted at her residence on Sunday, October 11. Following her death, arrangements were being made to transport her body for an autopsy to determine the cause and circumstances of her death. Her family has been notified.

The case follows a reported assault involving a stabbing in the 2900 block of Dawson Street late Sunday night. The Columbus Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit is leading the investigation.

Jail records show that Brandon Harmon, 37, was booked into the Muscogee County Jail on October 12. He was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a knife during the commission of a crime.

Authorities have confirmed that Harmon is Daniel’s son and was incarcerated in connection with the case. However, officials have not yet publicly announced whether the charges against him will be amended or whether additional charges will be filed following Daniel’s death.

The pending autopsy is expected to help investigators establish further details surrounding Daniel’s death. Authorities have not released additional information about the circumstances of the alleged assault.

The investigation remains ongoing. Further updates may be released as police and the coroner’s office provide additional information.
