Limerick Mom’s Autopsy Results Expedited: Coroner’s Office

NORRISTOWN, PA — The autopsy on the body of missing Limerick mother, Jennifer Brown, was completed Friday afternoon and a ruling on the cause and manner of death is being determined on an expedited basis, Montgomery County First Deputy Coroner Alex Balacki said.

“We are doing everything we can to expedite the results,” Balacki said. “We don’t do it (expedite the results) very often.”

Toxicology tests are being performed at a state police crime lab as part of the ongoing investigation to determine the cause and manner of death.

Balacki did not provide a timeframe of when the cause and manner of death will be complete.

Brown, a mother of two sons who resided in Stratford Court, was reported missing on Jan. 4 after she failed to pick up her son at the school bus stop.

Balacki said the coroner’s office was called at approximately 3 p.m. Wednesday to a business in the 200 block of Fifth Avenue in the borough of Royersford. A bystander had discovered Brown’s body in a wooded area behind a warehouse and notified Limerick police.

As of Friday afternoon, police have not made an arrest or provided additional details of the probe.

District Attorney Kevin R. Steele said the office has received numerous tips but could not release information on a pending case.
