Autopsy: Ohio Girl Likely Died From Strangulation A coroner says a 9-year-old girl found dead over the weekend in an Ohio trash bin likely died of strangulation. Findings from an initial autopsy released Monday indicate second-grader Reann Murphy was strangled with an unknown object. A 24-year-old man who lived near the girl's family has been arrested. Neighbors say he had been seen building a snowman with the girl and helped search for her after she was reported missing Saturday. A sheriff's investigator says Jerrod Metsker was the last person seen with the girl at the trailer park where they lived near Akron. Metsker is being held on $1 million bond following a court appearance by video Monday. His relatives and attorney aren't commenting.
