The 6-year-old South Carolina girl who was found dead last week died of asphyxiation hours after she was abducted, said the local coroner’s office.
Speaking at a 3 p.m. press conference Tuesday, Lexington County coroner Margaret Fisher said she was abducted and killed. Police officials have previously said her 30-year-old neighbor, Coty Taylor, was suspected in the case, but he was found dead at his nearby home.
