Elena Katherine Moore, 39, was found dead almost a week after she disappeared on June 11 after she went to a Planet Fitness gym in Lexington, South Carolina. The Lexington County Coroner’s Office said in a statement on Monday that a forensic autopsy did not find indications of bruising, lacerations, gunshot wounds, stab wounds, blunt force trauma, strangulation or other external injuries.
Her cause of death is pending as investigators wait for additional testing and a review of Moore’s medical records.
