LOGAN, Iowa (AP) — An autopsy shows a 5-year-old Atlantic boy’s death late last August was caused by blunt force head injuries and drowning. The Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner released the autopsy of Dominic Elkins on Tuesday. His death has been ruled a homicide.

A foster family caring for Dominic found his body on Aug. 31st at the bottom of a rural Harrison County ravine. The boy had been living with the family for about two weeks. Cody Metzker-Madsen, a 17-year-old described by authorities as a member of the foster family, has been charged as an adult with first-degree murder in connection to Dominic’s death. Additional information has not been released.

The Iowa State Patrol says a Denison couple was injured during a rollover accident Tuesday afternoon near Underwood, in Pottawattamie County. Officials say 56-year old Blanca and 54-year old Juan Pacas were traveling east during a moderate rain shower behind a semi on Interstate 80 in a 2001 Dodge Caravan, when Blanca attempted to transition from the right lane into the left, passing lane. As she did so, the driver a non-contact vehicle in the left lane honked their horn. Pacas swerved right and lost control of the van, which entered a ditch and rolled several times down a hill. The accident happened at around 1:20-p.m.

The couple were transported to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs. Their injuries were not believed to be life threatening.

Authorities in Montgomery County have identified a woman from France as the person who jumped from an Amtrak train late Monday evening. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says 31-year-old Stephanie Hatt of Savigny sur Orge, France was pronounced dead after being discovered lying along the north side of the railroad tracks in the vicinity of James and Broad Streets in Stanton.

Officials with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad officials reported the woman, who is believed to be a tourist who arrived in the U-S on October 31^st, jumped off Amtrak’s westbound California Zephyr at approximately 9:50 p.m., Monday. She was on her way from Chicago to Omaha when the incident occurred.

According to Sheriff Joe Sampson, Hatt became nervous to the point where the conductor had tried to calm her down and get her to sit still, but she bolted from her seat, ran down an aisle, open the door, and jumped from the train, which was traveling at 79 miles per hour. She died from blunt force trauma to the head.

While foul play has been ruled out, it’s still unclear why the woman jumped from the train. Toxicology reports are being conducted to determine if the woman was under the influence of drugs or medications. Red Oak Police, Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Amtrak Police, the Iowa State Patrol and Stanton Rescue also assisted in the investigation.
