San Antonio police said Monday the death of a 27-year-old woman was ruled a suicide.
A woman whose body was found on fire along a greenway trail on San Antonio's Northwest Side last week died by suicide, police said Monday.
The 27-year-old was discovered around 9 a.m. on April 10 after witnesses called 911 to report a fire off the trail in the 7500 block of Prue Road, near the entrance to the Leon Creek Greenway. First responders extinguished the flames and found the woman's body. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities have not publicly identified the woman.
San Antonio police said their preliminary findings show no evidence of criminal activity. The case was ruled a suicide, but the investigation remains ongoing, police told MySA on Monday.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office is expected to determine the official cause of death.
