A medical examiner has determined a Florida man died of asphyxiation, citing the manner of death as a homicide after his girlfriend locked him in a suitcase.
Sarah Boone was arrested on charges of second-degree murder in February after she was accused of zipping her boyfriend inside a suitcase during a game of hide and seek and leaving him to die as he called out her name and told her he couldn’t breathe.
Officials estimated that Jorge Torres Jr.had been in the suitcase for “up to 11 hours or more.” A report showed that Torres had a black eye and other bruises and cuts on his head.
