After months of speculation, police have officially reclassified the death of 27-year-old Lia Soren from suicide to homicide, following new forensic evidence that contradicts the original conclusion.
Sources close to the investigation confirm that microscopic traces of a sedative were detected in the victim’s bloodstream — a substance that could have rendered her unconscious before her fatal fall.
“There’s no scenario in which she could have administered that dosage herself,” said one official familiar with the case.
Detectives are now focusing on two individuals last seen entering Lia’s apartment building hours before her death. Surveillance footage previously thought to be incomplete has been digitally restored, revealing a shadowy figure following her into the elevator.
The shift in classification has reignited public interest and forced a full review of the evidence that once closed the case.
“We were wrong,” admitted a senior investigator. “This wasn’t self-inflicted — someone wanted her gone.”
