Cause Of Teenager's Death Deferred
KENTUCKY...
A medical examiner says a teenager found dead outside a northern Kentucky apartment building wasn't killed. Boone County Coroner Doug Stith told The Kentucky Enquirer there was no evidence of trauma or foul play in the death of 15-year-old Karen Kappelman, whose body was found in the snow Sunday in Walton. Stith said the cause of Kappelman's death is deferred for now. He said it doesn't appear to be weather related and officials are awaiting the results of toxicology tests, which could take a few weeks. A neighbor saw Kappelman's partly clothed body lying on a hill near her building off Ky. 338 about 10 a.m. Sunday and called sheriff's deputies.
