Last weekend, investigators completed the autopsy on Lina's body. French teenage girl Lina may have died from suffocation, possibly with a plastic bag. This is according to initial autopsy results. So writes the newspaper Le Parisien. Lina also showed marks on her neck, writes Le Parisien based on a source close to the investigation. However, the newspaper stresses that the results are not definitive and further analyses still need to be done.

In mid-October, Lina's lifeless body was found in a watercourse in a wooded and remote area in Nevers, France. That is more than 400 kilometers from Plaine, the place where the prime suspect's car was found a day after Lina's disappearance.

15-year-old Lina disappeared on Sept. 23 while on foot on her way from her home to the train station of Saint-Blaise-la-Roche, in the French Vosges Mountains. She was supposed to take the train there to Strasbourg to visit her boyfriend Tao (19), but never arrived there. The main suspect in the case is Samuel G. DNA traces of the missing girl were found in his car. But Samuel G. committed suicide two months ago. He had already been prosecuted in the past for two brutal thefts in Besançon and had confided to a psychiatrist that he was “freaking out.” He also struggled with drug and alcohol addictions. The man who was divorced and had two sons reportedly left several goodbye letters. “I have lost my honor, my dignity and my humanity, I have to leave. I can't control myself, it's too fast. I am suffering too much, it is better this way,” were his last words.
On Thursday, the girl was buried in the church of Plaine, the village where she lived.
