Leland Laseter said: "A situation like this is unusual, so we're taking extra precautions during the investigation." He also added: "[We] pretty much have completed our process at the crime scene. After completely processing the crime scene... this does not seem like a homicide, it seems like an accident." As of right now, an investigation is underway to confirm the identity of the deceased. "We're going to re-examine all the evidence ... and they're going to conduct an autopsy to give us the cause and manner of death. So there are a few more steps that we need to take before a [final] determination is made," Laseter said.
