RALEIGH, N.C.—A kidnapped and slain 13-year-old North Carolina girl likely died of suffocation or strangulation, but her cause of death couldn’t be determined conclusively, according to an autopsy released on Wednesday, Feb. 13.
The state’s Office of the Chief Medical examiner ruled that Hania Aguilar died of undetermined violence. The autopsy found she most likely died of asphyxia because other causes of death were ruled out.
