It’s unlikely that the death of an Olathe woman found in a burned-out car at Clinton Lake will be ruled a homicide, coroner Erik Mitchell said Wednesday.

“To the best of my knowledge we have no indications … of somebody else involved,” he said.

It’s the first sign investigators have given about what may have happened to 40-year-old Carolyn A. Bower since her body was discovered April 30 in a car near Rock Creek Boat Ramp. Still, Mitchell said he wasn’t prepared Wednesday to discuss details of the death or what the autopsy will show.

Toxicology tests in the case are finished, but they haven’t yet been assembled with other information into the detailed autopsy report that will be sent to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

“Our hold up right now is simply case volume,” Mitchell said. “It’s probably simply a matter of getting to sit down and make sure we haven’t missed anything.”

The sheriff’s office is declining comment about the case until it receives and reviews the autopsy report.

Bower was reported missing early on the morning of April 30 by her teenage son. She was found later that day at Clinton Lake in a Mazda 626 that was so badly burned that investigators had to dismantle it to find the vehicle-identification number.

Bower recently had been through a divorce and was due in court for an alimony and child-support hearing a few days after her death.
