11/23/13 - The autopsy report for a woman killed in a murder suicide has been received but revealed no surprises according to local authorities. The formal cause of death for 51-year-old Gail Dimitroff of Oceola Township has been ruled blunt force trauma. Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte tells WHMI toxicology reports are still pending and will likely take three to four more weeks but they have received the autopsy results. Bezottte says it was a tragic homicide case and dental records were used to positively identify the badly beaten victim. He says there is still more work to be done before they release any more information and the investigation continues. Dimitroffâs body was found this past Monday afternoon inside of her Hill Top Lane residence, where she lived with her boyfriend who police suspect killed her. Authorities believe 44-year-old Mark William Herrick later intentionally killed himself by crashing his vehicle head-on into a semi-truck in Monroe County. (JM)
