OREGON — The cause of death of an Indiana woman found dead at the Orchard Hills Landfill earlier this month has been determined.
On Thursday, March 29, the Ogle County Coroner and Ogle County Sheriff’s Office released the cause of death of Sumire Negishi, of West Lafayette, Ind. Following an autopsy performed by the Ogle County coroner, it was determined Negishi died from exposure and hypothermia. Her death has been ruled accidental.
On March 16, deputies were dispatched to the 8200 block of North IL Route 251 for a report of an elderly male walking in the area. Deputies located Elichi Negishi, 82, of West Lafayette, Ind., and transported him to a Rockford hospital for treatment.
Deputies then discovered Negishi and his wife, Sumire Negishi, 80, also of West Lafayette, were reported missing to the Indiana State Police on the evening of March 15. Sheriff’s deputies located the Negishi’s vehicle and Sumire in the nearby Orchard Hills Landfill.
Sumire was pronounced dead at the scene by Ogle County Coroner Lou Finch.
