Missing Oregon Woman Found Dead: Suicide Ruled Cause Of Death, Asphyxiation, How Did She Commit Suicide?

Missing Oregon woman found dead yesterday has been missing for nearly two weeks, said authorities.

Just a day after the missing Oregon woman found dead by police, officials also said that her death was ruled a suicide.

The missing Oregon woman found dead has been identified as Jennifer Huston from Dundee. According to USA Today, she was found on a remote Sheridan property.

The Newberg-Dundee Police Department reported that the SUV of the missing Oregon woman found dead was located in a rural and remote area of Yamhill County. The SUV was found not far from her body on Tuesday, parked along a rural logging road about 25 miles southwest of her home.

According to ABC News, after police swept the area where they found the SUV, they saw Huston's body just a short distance away, about 40 yards from the vehicle.

The Associated Press reports that according to the state medical examiner's office and police on Wednesday, the missing Oregon woman found dead was after she had committed suicide by asphyxiation.

The authorities said the SUV of the missing Oregon woman found dead, which was seen undamaged, was located by a property owner in the area.

It still remains unclear how long the car of the missing Oregon woman found dead ended up in the road, while she was a short distance away from it.

Good Morning America reports that the mother of the missing Oregon woman found dead suspected foul play in her death.

She told ABC News in an interview last week, 'Somebody has to have her because she wouldn't do this.

She added, 'And it is a thought you don't want to think about, but I'm pretty sure that somebody has her. She would call.'

In the meantime, the AP said that according to police, there is no connection between Huston and the owners of the property where her vehicle was found.

The SUV of the missing Oregon woman found dead was found with a full tank of gas, there was no evidence of a crash and there was no damage to the vehicle.

In the end, police found nothing to indicate foul play in the death of the Oregon mother of two. However, they found an empty box of sleeping aids at the scene. Toxicology results are still unavailable for the 38-year-old from Dundee.

According to the Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office, the missing Oregon woman found dead died of asphyxiation and her death was a suicide.

ABC News reports that the missing Oregon woman found dead disappeared two weeks ago on Jul. 24. She left her home to run errands. She was last seen at a nearby gas station to Portland, Oregon.

In a video footage from the day she disappeared, Huston was seen withdrawing a small amount of cash from an ATM. She also fueled her SUV, bought a Gatorade, trail mix and a nonlethal amount of sleeping pills, according to police.

The missing Oregon woman found dead was wearing the same clothes the day she vanished.

After her disappearance, Huston's family has tirelessly searched for her. Her distraught husband even pleaded her return in an ABC News interview last week.

He said that Huston would not willingly leave her two sons, ages 2 and 6, alone.

Her husband, Kallen Huston, said, 'She wouldn't leave all of us. She just wouldn't do this. Everybody who knows her agrees.'

Police Capt. Jeff Kosmicki said in a statement that the missing Oregon woman found dead died "fairly close" to the time she was reported missing. Kosmicki also noted a note found by detectives, addressed to the woman's family.

Along with the family of the missing Oregon woman found dead searching for her, intense internet speculation arose and thus sparked an intense search over the web.

Her husband, reports the AP, told reporters that his wife had complained of headaches days before she went missing. The couple's 10th wedding anniversary would have been celebrated next week.

The family of the missing Oregon woman found dead released a statement through police.

The statement said, 'Our hearts ache today. We have lost our first-born child. We have lost a wife and a mother. We don't know what led Jennifer to this dark place and to this end and perhaps never will understand this.'

'We are incredibly thankful to family, friends, community and media for their searching, supporting and getting the information out that led to locating Jennifer's car and finding Jennifer.'

Missing Oregon woman found dead has relatives saying through police that they wanted to be left alone to grieve. According to USA Today, her family is also making plans for a Celebration of Life.
