Hamilton, 20, a male-to-female transgender from Little Rock, Ark., died during a spiritual cleansing inside the home of a Camden County voodoo priest on July 10.
Yesterday, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office said that Hamilton's death had been accidental, resulting from the combined effects of "physical exhaustion, ambient room temperature and an oxygen-depleted atmosphere."
