Autopsy released in Yale grad student's death
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A Yale graduate student whose body was found in hidden in a wall in her lab building was suffocated, according to autopsy released Wednesday, hours after a "person of interest" was questioned and released. Dr. Wayne Carver's office released the results three days after the body of 24-year-old Annie Le was found in a Yale medical school research building. Carver had previously announced Le's death as a homicide.
The office says her death was caused by "traumatic asphyxia due to neck compression". That means the cause could include a choke hold or some other form of suffocation caused by a hand or an object, such as a pipe, though authorities are not releasing details
on her manner of death.
Earlier Wednesday, police released a Yale animal research technician from custody after collecting DNA samples and questioning him in Le's killing. Raymond Clark III had been taken in Tuesday night at his apartment in Middletown, Conn., and was released to his attorney, New Haven police said.
The attorney, David Dworski, of Fairfield, said his client is "committed to proceeding appropriately with the authorities." He would not comment further.
Investigators are hoping to figure out within days whether Clark can be ruled out as the killer. He has been described as a person of interest, not a suspect, in Le's death. Her body was found Sunday, which was to have been her wedding day.
Freshman Diana Stoianov, 17, and other students hold a candlelight vigil for graduate student Annie Le on the Yale University campus. Monday, Le's body was found in a medical building where she worked, and police are now treating the case as a homicide.
New Haven Police Chief James Lewis said police were hoping to compare DNA taken from Clark's
hair, fingernails and saliva with more than 150 pieces of evidence collected from the crime scene.
