GILBERTSVILLE — Authorities have identified a woman whose body was found by a farmer in a suburban Philadelphia field.
However, Montgomery County officials said Thursday that they still aren't sure how 26-year-old Natalie Marella died.
A statement from the district attorney's office says an autopsy conducted Wednesday night was inconclusive. Officials say they are awaiting the results of toxicology tests.
A farmer found Marella's body Wednesday morning in a remote section of hedgerow next to a cornfield in New Hanover Township.
Authorities say Marella lived in Ambler, about 25 miles southeast of where her body was found.

Pa. man charged in Michigan in cyber-sex case
EAST LANSING, Mich. — A Pennsylvania man has been charged in Michigan with tricking people into sex acts over Skype and then sending the images to others on Facebook.
Joseph Ostrowski already is under a separate indictment in Scranton, Pa., that accuses him of producing child pornography.
Federal prosecutors say that crimes in East Lansing, Mich., and Pennsylvania occurred last year while Ostrowski was a football coach at a Catholic high school in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Messages seeking comment were left Thursday with Ostrowski's lawyers. He was indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury in Grand Rapids, Mich.
The indictment says Ostrowski secretly took over Facebook accounts and then used them to contact people in East Lansing and persuade them to engage in sex acts over Skype. He's accused of sending images to Facebook users.
