Tl;dr: 75-yo old woman attacks the employees over a sandwich, rips hair from one of them, put that hair in her purse, calls the police and dies.

At that point, two other employees intervened, and as they were pulled apart, a “chunk of hair” was pulled from the shift lead’s head, “leaving a raw area.”

Once separated, the employees got behind the counter and Grayson sat down, taking a phone call. She was seen picking up the shift lead’s hair and putting it in her bag, police said.

Her medical history, combined with this behavior, if anything seems to lean towards her just having anger issues for a really long time.

There's also no evidence this is an event of psychosis. She was fully aware of her surroundings and events, as she knew why she was angry. The only evidence I see of her likely dying was an adrenal response because it is not that easy to rip out hair, especially at that age. And even that's a stretch - most likely she already had clotting issues and a weak heart, and the anger finished her off.
