Audrii Cunningham, the 11-year-old Texas girl who missed her school bus on Feb. 15 and was found dead in a river on Tuesday, died from blunt force trauma, according to reports.
The Harris County Medical Examiner’s Office reports the death was described as "homicidal violence" and her manner of death has been ruled a homicide, according to Fox 26 Houston.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the agency.
Officials on Tuesday charged Don Steven McDougal, 42, with capital murder of a person between the ages of 10 and 15, nearly a week after Cunningham missed her school bus.
