Are Kenneka Jenkins’ killers found? autopsy report
Kenneka Jenkins, 19, was found dead in a locked freezer at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare Hotel in Rosemont, Illinois on September 8, 2017, after attending a party there.
The medical examiner’s findings indicate that Jenkins’ death was accidental. Jenkins was found to be under the influence of topiramate and alcohol, which allegedly accelerated the effects of the hypothermia she suffered inside the freezer.
The Rosemont Police Department confirmed that their investigation is still ongoing although they do not believe there was a crime.
Jenkins’ family and friends disapproved of the police’s initial response, and legal action was subsequently taken against the hotel and other parties. Later, relatives claimed the initial police response lacked urgency.
Authorities found video of Jenkins moving through the hotel at 10 p.m. after an initial check of camera footage focusing on entrances and exits showed no results.
