Dori Cassaday, a 49-year-old white woman, was found dead Thursday, June 30, in the 25000 block of Silver Aspen Way in Stevenson Ranch, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.
Cassaday was discovered dead in her apartment by an exterminator, said Ed Winter, spokesman for the coroner's office.
Coroner's records show there was no visible trauma to her body; however there were some suspicious circumstances.
Winter said Cassaday's cause of death has been deferred, pending additional tests and results will not be available for at least six to eight weeks.
Anyone with information about her death is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.
[Update Jan. 12, 2012: The coroner's office said her death was a suicide. She killed herself through multiple drug intoxication.]
