PALMYRA — A man who was seriously injured in a stabbing in Palmyra earlier this month has died, according to an official.

Todd Parsons, 48, succumbed to his injuries on Oct. 18, a week after the stabbing, Shannon Moss, public information officer for the Maine Department of Public Safety, said Thursday.

Parsons’ body was taken to the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Augusta for an autopsy.

The official cause and manner of death were not released Thursday.
