Case History
The deceased, known as "Evelyn" was found lying on her back inside her friend's residence, with whom she had been staying.



"Evelyn" and this other person probably didn't know each other for very long if she was staying at this friend's house and the friend (presumably)
didn't know "Evelyn's" last name. It doesn't list a cause of death, so I assume it was natural causes due to the mention of a fatty liver and pancreatic fibrosis.

I couldn't find any missing persons fitting Evelyn's description. I'm wondering if she could have been in a witness protection program of sore sort. Something tells me that Evelyn wasn't her real name.

Fatty liver and pancratic fibrosis are indications of long-term alcohol abuse - possibly, but not necessarily a cause of death.

Maybe she died of alcohol poisoning? Or liver failure due to chronic alcoholism?

Bump.

"finger prints destroyed" *head desk*

Is there any more information on this Jane Doe? Its so sad that no one seemed to know much about her.

So little info....Looks like she was homeless and stayed at friends house. Probably never really reported missing and no one know her real name. Most likely she had an abuse problem too. Sad case.

Those were my exact thoughts on this. I have read other similar cases to this one.

Refreshing for Evelyn...

From her PM photo, listed height & weight, she doesn’t strike me as a person with an addiction problem. So many with drug & alcohol addiction pick their poison over nutritious food.

It only mentions a shirt, no pants, skirt or underwear. This seems odd for someone lying inside a home (albeit temporary home) as a guest. Could she have been assaulted and left?

The scar list could be she was cutting herself or did she at some point live outside? Maybe injuries due to brush, living on the streets. Could the scar on the medical line of the wrist / elbow indicate surgery of some type?
