Investigators cited the medical examiner, who ruled that her injuries were consistent with a fall from the homeâs deck. The report said that a fall from a deck caused multiple blunt force injuries and that âacute ethanol intoxicationâ was a contributing factor.
Channel 2âs Mike Petchenick was at the news conference, where Mayor Joe Perkins said his detectives interviewed 30 people â including people at the party, family and friends.
âNo evidence or injury patterns indicative of an assault or foul play were noted by the detectives or the Forsyth County Coronerâs Office or the GBI Medical Examinerâs report,â Perkins said.
911 calls from the incident support the story that Horsfordâs death was an accident.
âWe had people over last night,â the homeowner told dispatchers. âWe were drinking. Most of us went to bed. One of them stayed on the balcony. She was drinking, and we just went outside and sheâs facedown in the backyard.â
Horsfordâs friend, Michelle Graves, has been outspoken about believing that her friendâs death was not an accident. Petchenik spoke to Graves last week. She said she believed something else happened to Horsford, and the family hired another medical examiner who found extensive injuries all over her body.
Petchenik spoke to Graves again Wednesday after the news conference. Graves insisted thereâs more to the story, even after police closed the case.
âTheyâre totally lying,â Graves said on a phone call with Petchenik. âTheyâre not out of the woods, because this was not an accident.â
Graves said the familyâs own medical examiner found other injuries they believe Horsford sustained after she died.
Horsworthâs father, Kurtland St. Du Jour , spoke to Atlanta DJ Ryan Cameronâs radio show after the sheriffâs announcement Wednesday.
âHer injuries were not consistent with what theyâre saying,â St. Du Jour said. âThis is so fishy, I just donât want it to get out of hand.â
St. Du Jour said the medical examiner the family hired found injuries they believe happened after she was already did. St. Du Jour believes someone through his daughterâs body off the deck.
âHer wrist was cut, broken. Where the body was, there was no blood pool, which means she was already dead,â St. Du Jour said.
Petchenik reached out to the homeownerâs attorney, but hasnât heard back.
Toxicology tests are expected to be released Thursday. Petchenik has put in an open records request for both the tox screen and the case file.
