VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley says a woman whose body was found in the Missouri River in southeastern South Dakota died from drowning with contributing circumstances.

Jackley on Wednesday released additional information about the autopsy of 29-year-old Alicia Hummel, of Sioux City, Iowa.

Hummel was found dead June 1 in Vermillion near the Myron Grove boat launch, which also is known as the Highline Area in Clay County.

Jackley says the contributing circumstances in Hummel’s drowning were an incision wound to the neck and blunt force injuries to the head. Toxicology reports were negative for any alcohol or controlled substances.

Clay County authorities continue to investigate Hummel’s death as a homicide. Individuals with any information are asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 605-677-7100.
