South Jordan police now say there’s nothing suspicious about woman’s death

A day after police termed the death of a woman found dead outside her car in South Jordan “suspicious," investigators are saying that is not the case.

The body of Kelsey Stone, 26, of Riverton, was discovered near 6000 W. Lake Ave. near the Daybreak development by a city employee about 8 a.m. She had been reported missing late Monday night by her family.

The South Jordan Police Department issued a release confirming there were “no signs of trauma or anything else suspicious found on her body,” and that investigators “do not have any reason to believe there was anyone else involved in Kelsey’s death.”

The official cause of death will not be released by the Office of the Medical Examiner for several months, police said.
