The Elko County Sheriff’s office has ordered an autopsy on the body of Malorrie Morgan a 29 year old Taylorsville woman who was found dead in her hotel room an month ago.
“It is pretty unusual,” said a source close to the investigation. “Usually a toxicology report is all that is required but this time around the full autopsy was ordered. It will be a while before the results are in.”
A toxicology report involves testing blood samples of the victim for a variety of substances that can cause death. The much more invasive autopsy is another word for dissection.
“I don’t know whether the autopsy was ordered in deference to her father or not.” Continued the source. “But it is unusual.”
According to West Wendover Police Chief Burdel Welsh Malorrie Morgan, 29, of Taylorsville Utah was found dead in her hotel room at the Montego Bay Casino/Resort the morning of February 3rd.
Morgan had arrived in Wendover Monday with common-law husband Mike Rasmussen also of Taylorsville.
“There were no preliminary signs of foul play,” said WWPD Chief Burdel Welsh. .”However the autopsy and toxicology reports have not come in yet.
The dead woman in the daughter of Nephi, Utah Police Chief Mike Morga nand the mother of six children.
But while no signs of foul play have been discovered several bloggers identifying themselves as relatives of the dead woman have all but alleged Morgan’s death was no accident.
“This is sad our beautiful niece. I hope justice will be served and the truth comes out.” wrote Carla Covington on the High Desert Advocate’s web page. “We have faith In the Nevada police and all officers investigating this. Praying the truth comes out.love and miss you beautiful”
Others lambasted that blogger: “ just wanted to clarify that Mallorie Morgan (Rasmussen) & Michael Rasmussen where in Wendover for the Super bowl with their 7 children (one is her step child) all of which where in the room together.” wrote blogger A Family Member. “She did not die alone, she was surrounded by her loving family who are clearly devastated, and who ever you are Carla Covington? I have never heard your name in 14 years, be assured she was loved and did not die “unattended”. Her father loves his daughter deeply and is devastated to say the least, and the comments you have made are purely inappropriate. Please refrain from making false statements in which cause more pain to the FAMILY.”
