Law enforcement officials announced Friday that the T.C. Williams sophomore found dead on Thursday died as a result from “descent from a building,” but declined to specify the manner of death — homicide, suicide or otherwise.
An autopsy performed Friday morning revealed the 17-year-old boy, who was found along the 2800 block of Park Center Drive, likely had fallen from a building and had no other signs of trauma.
Police spokeswoman Ashley Hildebrandt said detectives still are investigating the incident.
“We’re just trying to tie all the ends together to determine what happened,” she said. “An autopsy can say what injuries there were, but it can’t necessarily say how [the victim got them].”
