Upon arrival at 990 N. Depot St., officers of the Brazil Police Department found 78-year-old William Miller lying on the floor of the garage; alive but suffering from an undisclosed form of trauma.

Indiana State Police Sgt. Joe Watts said Miller was transported by CARE Ambulance to St. Vincent Clay Hospital for what was described as serious injuries.

Miller was still undergoing treatment for head and internal organ injuries at Terre Haute Regional Hospital, according to Watts' press release.
