She was trying to beat a record, and that's apparently why she did not answer the welfare check-in calls.

Officers entered the home to find the woman playing a "bubble pop" video game and attempting to break her previous record. Body camera footage was released as part of the police activity, but it doesn't show the moment that officers found the woman due to privacy reasons.

"Footage doesn't show the moment they found her for privacy reasons" like we haven't all been caught in our underwear covered in sheeto dust after a gaming binge

She was probably shouting insults at some kid in Call of Duty

Not the first time a 360-noscope was referred to as a "bubble pop". 😂🤌🏼
