2/11/13 - An autopsy has failed to shed any light on what might have happened to a young woman whose body was found underneath the deck of her motherâs home in Iosco Township. The body of 24-year-old Kalin Rose Woods was found by a neighbor in what authorities described as an odd position last Thursday, underneath the back deck of the home on Dutcher Road, north of Coon Lake Road. She had no shoes or coat on despite the winter weather and police said there were no obvious signs of trauma to her body. The cause of death remains under investigation and Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte says an autopsy was conducted over the weekend at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing but failed to offer any explanation or clues about what might have happened. He says the autopsy found no injuries or blunt force trauma on the body and tells WHMI things are on hold until the results of toxicology tests come back in four to six weeks, which will reveal anything that was in her system. He says the toxicology report will be key to the investigation and it's possible Woods may have been intoxicated and froze to death after being unable to get back inside the home. Woods is said to have moved to the area from Western Pennsylvania to care for her ill mother, who has been hospitalized in Ann Arbor. After not hearing from her daughter for a few days, she asked a neighbor to check on her. Bezotte says her mother did come home late Friday to the scene and spoke with detectives but has since returned to the hospital. (JM)
