The mysterious death of Georgia woman Debbie Collier has now been ruled a suicide – more than two months after police launched a homicide investigation when her partly-burned body was discovered at the bottom of a ravine and final messages suggested she had been taken against her will.
The State Medical Examiner’s Office determined the manner of death this week after an autopsy revealed the 59-year-old died from “inhalation of superheated gases, thermal injuries, and hydrocodone intoxication,” according to Habersham County Deputy Coroner Ken Franklin.
