The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office says that toxicology tests found alcohol, caffeine and an epilepsy/migraine medication in Kenneka Jenkins’ system and that her death was an accident, Time magazine reports.
As reported earlier by The Root, Jenkins’ body was found Sept. 10 in a walk-in freezer at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare Hotel in Rosemont, Ill. There was a fury of social media activity surrounding the teen’s death, with her family suspecting foul play and asking the FBI to look into it.
