A 19-year-old Auburn man who was arrested after his former girlfriend was found dead in her apartment Monday will be released from jail today pending further investigation, the King County Prosecutor's Office said.
Today was the deadline for filing charges in connection with the death of Kathleen Eyle, 20. The investigation will continue and a decision on whether to file charges will be made at a later date, the Prosecutor's Office said in a news release.
Police found Eyle dead in her apartment in the 3700 block of Auburn Way South in Auburn early Monday morning after the former boyfriend called 911 to report she was not breathing due to "partying" and drinking, court documents said. A neighbor told police she had heard fighting and saw something or someone go over the balcony 20 to 30 feet above ground, according to court documents.
Investigators found fingerprints on the balcony that indicated someone was hanging from it, the documents said.
Prosecutors said the woman died of a heart rupture from a blow.
