obviously "not yet determined" assumes it may be an accident.....

but it only mentions the two possibilities of suicide or murder being, 'not yet determined'.

serendipitous - "not yet determined" and "if" suicide or murder.

Police said that an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.

a pretty good clue that the police haven't determined the cause of death, right? They are just not dismissing anything right now.

If she has any relatives, they should come forward and make inquiries. In any event, we hope the police identify the body and shed light on the case ASAP. RIP.
