The death of a 16-year-old girl whose body was found in a bush has been ruled an accident caused by drugs, according to the state medical examiner’s office.
Emylee Lonczak was reported missing August 21 from her home in an affluent area of McLean, Virginia.
Two days later, her body turned up in the bushes between a pair of million-dollar homes in the well-heeled suburb of Vienna.
Today it was reported her death was caused by the adverse effects of heroin and an over-the-counter antihistamine.
According to a search warrant obtained by The Washington Post, the McLean High School student left home August 21 with two men and then drove out of state to buy drugs from another man.
Members of the group then used the drug, before returning to Fairfax County in the early hours of August 22 after realizing the teen was in medical distress, but did not seek help, the document stated.
No charges have been filed in the case.
Police investigating Lonczak’s death had previously interviewed one of the teen’s companions, identified by NBC Washington as 19-year-old Kyle Alifom, and searched his parents’ Vienna home.
