Suvan Gerlach, 56, a manager in Stanford’s artificial intelligence lab, passed away as a result of injuries sustained in a car accident in Cupertino on Nov. 5, according the San Jose Mercury News.
She was taken off life support Wednesday, according to her husband, Gary Gerlach.
Mrs. Gerlach’s Prius was hit by another car on Nov. 5 at about 6 a.m. at Stevens Creek Boulevard and De Anza Boulevard. She had been in a coma since the accident.
Santa Clara County sheriff’s investigators are “still working on the investigation,” said Sgt. Jose Cardoza.
The female driver of the other car has not been arrested or identified. Authorities have not released details of the accident.
Gerlach worked at Stanford for more than 20 years. A memorial will be held in January at the Saratoga Federated Church.
