The San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office has ruled Vicki Garcia's death as accidental with blunt force trauma to the head. The Medical Examiner's Office is waiting for more information before declaring the results final.

The death of a 57-year-old woman whose body was found Sept. 7 in her Ocean Lane condo has been ruled accidental, the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office said.
