(WWJ) An investigation into the tragic death of a teenage girl in St. Clair County has come to an end, as police say there was no crime.
The Michigan State Police Lapeer Post on Thursday said an investigation determined that 16-year-old Leah Connor, who was found dead on the Trestle Bridge in Avoca on Sunday, took her own life.
"The investigation has revealed her cause of death did not involve foul play and was a result of self-harm," MSP said, in a statement, adding: "We will not be providing additional detail about the manner of death."
Police said Connor was reported missing by her family in Avoca, an unincorporated community within Kenockee Township, after she left home late Saturday morning and failed to return.
An MSP K-9 team discovered the teen's body after a brief search, and an investigation was launched into what police considered at the time to be a "suspicious death."
