The Office of the Chief State Medical Examiner has not yet determined a cause of death for Anita Marie Ackerman, who was found unresponsive in her Middletown Avenue apartment last Friday.
East Hampton police responded to a call at about 2:15 p.m., to 80 Middletown Ave.
According to Sgt. Garritt Kelly of the East Hampton Police Department, results from the autopsy could take six to eight weeks.
“The exact cause of death won’t be determined until the autopsy report is complete,” Kelly said. Kelly said Ackerman was unresponsive when police arrived and CPR was initiated.
Kelly said investigators saw no signs of foul play and no drugs were found on scene. He also said that “she was last known to be OK the night before.”
“It’s an ongoing investigation. Additional interviews by way of police investigation and the completion of the medical examiner’s report will further the results of what it was that happened,” he said.
Ackerman was 22. She was a 2007 graduate of East Hampton High School. Funeral services will be held Friday, July 27th at 11 a.m. in the Spencer Funeral Home, 112 Main St., East Hampton. Burial will be private at the convenience of the family. The full obituary is here.
