CAMDEN, N.J., July 13 (UPI) -- Authorities in Camden County, N.J., say they do not know how a 21-year-old Arkansas transgender woman died in a home where voodoo rituals took place.
Jason Laughlin, a Camden County Prosecutor's Office spokesman, said authorities were awaiting the toxicology reports from an autopsy on Lucille Hamilton of Little Rock, Ark., to determine what caused the her death Sunday, Gannett New Jersey reported Monday.
Laughlin said Hamilton, whose death is not being considered suspicious, was staying with six other people at a Camden County home for the weekend to take part in a voodoo ritual. Specific details of the ritual were not reported.
The other people in the home, which included children, were taken to a hospital after the discovery of Hamilton's body. Laughlin had no comment on any treatment those individuals received Sunday.
The Philadelphia Inquirer said Hamilton, who was born an biological male, was found after an unidentified individual in the home told authorities she was unresponsive.
Hamilton was later pronounced dead at the home, the Inquirer said.
