Coroner Says 15-Year Old Froze To Death
KENTUCKY...
A coroner says a teenager found dead outside a northern Kentucky apartment building froze to death. Boone County Coroner Doug Stith said Monday that alcohol intoxication contributed to the death of 15-year-old Karen Kappelman, whose body was found in the snow in February. Stith listed her cause of death as hypothermia due to exposure. A neighbor saw Kappelman's partly clothed body lying on a hill near her building off Kentucky 338 in Walton and called sheriff's deputies.
