An autopsy was performed this morning on the body of 41-year-old Kristi L. Williams at the Kentucky Medical Examiner's Office in Louisville, KY. The preliminary results showed Williams died due to severe trauma to her neck area.
According to Indiana State Police who are assisting with the investigation, these results are only preliminary and the final determination of the cuase of death will not be determined until all results from the autopsy are confirmed, which typically takes up to six weeks.
