Pearson died Aug. 19th.
Cooper was charged with manslaughter and endangering a vulnerable adult. Both are Class B felonies.
According to a criminal complaint, Cooper was cleaning Pearson’s bathroom…and the two apparently struggled over the bathroom door. Cooper told police that Pearson was keeping her from leaving the bathroom, so she pushed Pearson with one arm, causing him to trip and fall
