PORT JERVIS – The Orange County Medical
Examiner has identified the woman whose body was found lying on the ground
in an unpaved parking lot at Port Jervis Middle School last Saturday as

Based on the preliminary findings of the autopsy and information gathered
during the investigation, no signs of trauma or suspicious injuries were
found that could be associated with the cause of death, authorities said.
No official cause of death has been determined and police and the medical

four to six weeks to analyze to determine of alcohol or prescription medications
may have contributed to her cause of death.
