SEVERNA PARK, Md. -- Marcie Bents survived the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon. But family members said she never recovered from the trauma of that day.
Bents was found dead in her Severna Park home Tuesday morning. The cause of death is not yet known, but relatives say the 48-year-old woman had lost the will to live.
They said Bents holed up in her house, watching CNN and fretting about bombs and planes.
Her sister, Kathy Gonce, said Bents "was afraid 24-7."
Bents, an information technology specialist, was in her second-floor office of the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the building. About 15 of her co-workers died.
She returned to work but was granted medical leave in 2004, and people who know her said she gradually got worse.
