 On 9 October, in responding to media inquiries, police confirmed that the naked corpse belonged to the 15-year-old Chan.According to a preliminary autopsy, there were no lacerations or contusions on her body, and no sign of sexual assault.Although her death was later considered "not suspicious" by the police, the police originally requested a court warrant on 27 September on the grounds that the case was a murder, but changed the categorization to "dead body found" several days later.
