Autopsy Report Rules Kenneka Jenkins Died of Hypothermia

Kenneka Jenkins, a young Chicago woman, whose body was found in a hotel's walk-in freezer last month has died accidentally, a coroner ruled.
Her cause of death was hypothermia and "cold exposure in a walk-in freezer" as well as "ethanol and topiramate intoxication," the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office said.
Jenkins, 19, was last seen early Saturday, September 9, at a party at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare Hotel. Her family reported her missing later that day, and Jenkins' body was found in the freezer at the hotel shortly before 1 a.m. on Sunday, September 10. Surveillance videos released by police days later show Jenkins, alone, wandering through a kitchen area near the freezer.
The medical examiner said an autopsy found stomach lesions indicative of hypothermia, an abrasion on Jenkins' right ankle and a bruise on her right leg. "There was no other evidence of external or internal trauma," the office said.
A spokesman for the Crowne Plaza Hotel said in a statement, "We wish to express our condolences to the family and friends of Kenneka Jenkins. Today's Cook County Medical Examiner report, which found the young woman died accidentally, must be confusing and difficult for all who knew her. Her death has stunned our company and saddened employees. As we previously assured the family's attorney, we will preserve all the evidence they requested, including video recordings and documents. In fact, we have already done so."
