The Monroe County Sheriff's Department said Tuesday that Nevaeh Buchanan either was buried alive or had her face forcibly pressed into dirt by another person. The autopsy could not determine the exact manner of death.
Nevaeh's body was found covered by cement in a shallow grave on June 4. She disappeared 10 days earlier from outside an apartment complex in Monroe, triggering a massive search by police and residents of the city about 35 miles south of Detroit.
Two fishermen found her grave along the River Raisin in nearby Raisinville Township.
No one has been arrested in the girl's death.

A Preventable Crime? Prosecutors asked that a judge lock up Isaiah M.K. Kalebu, who was out on bail pending trial for charges he threatened to kill his mother, after a suspicious fire at his aunt's house killed two people. Six days later, on July 19, authorities say Kalebu stabbed a 39-year-old woman to death. For that alleged crime, a judge set the bail at $10 million on July 25.

Autopsy results for a Michigan girl whose body was recently found in a shallow grave show that the 5-year-old suffocated after inhaling dirt -- an indication she was buried alive or that someone forcibly shoved her face into dirt. Nevaeh Buchanan disappeared in late May from outside an apartment complex in the town of Monroe.
