Officials release few details after autopsy of woman found in Zintel Canyon

Benton County authorities say it will take up to eight weeks to determine how a woman in Zintel Canyon died.

The coroner’s office will await the results of toxicology tests before determining a cause of death of the woman, who found by teens Jan. 29 in the Kennewick canyon.

There are no indications of foul play, said Coroner John Hansens in a news release Thursday.

The woman has been identified, but police are not releasing her name because her family is out of town and hasn’t been notified.

An autopsy was performed Thursday, though officials did not release details of the examination.

The woman was found north of the Canyon Lakes Golf Course.
