Authorities in Camden County have received Lucie Marie Hamilton's toxicology reports, but say they still don't know how the Arkansas woman died during a voodoo ritual in July.
The Camden County Prosecutor's Office would not discuss yesterday what, if anything, the reports found or issue a cause and manner of death.
"It didn't resolve the question of why she's dead," spokesman Jason Laughlin said of the report.
Hamilton, a 20-year-old male-to-female transgender woman from Little Rock, flew to New Jersey in July to undergo a spiritual cleansing at the Gloucester Township home of "Houngan" Hector Salva.
