Officials in Baraboo, Wisconsin, said that preliminary autopsy results show Kodie Dutcher, 10, who went missing from her home on Monday, died from suicide.
“There were no signs of foul play or physical abuse,” according to the statement.
The office stipulated that toxicology results are pending, adding that it can take several weeks.
“Please continue to keep Kodie’s family in your thoughts and prayers during this extremely difficult time,” the department said, adding that an investigation is underway.
An AMBER Alert was issued on Monday night after she went missing earlier in the day, according to the reports.
La Broscian said Kodie and her family moved to Wisconsin in April, and she was in school for about two weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic forced classes to be suspended for the year.
Other details about her death are not clear.
