Authorities have officially released the autopsy findings in the mysterious case of 15-year-old Jared Ellison, whose disappearance and tragic recovery shocked the small town of Ridgewood.
According to investigators, the autopsy revealed a cause of death that only deepens the mystery:
Jared showed no signs of external trauma, no fractures, no defensive wounds, and no evidence of drowning despite being recovered near a shallow creek. Instead, medical examiners concluded that Jared died from sudden cardiac collapse triggered by an unknown stressor — a condition that experts say is extraordinarily rare in healthy teenagers.
Even more unsettling, forensic technicians noted unusual biochemical markers in Jared’s bloodstream, something they described only as “a pattern we’ve never encountered in a case like this.” Samples have been sent to a specialized laboratory for further analysis.
Police now believe that the circumstances surrounding Jared’s disappearance may involve a critical event in the final minutes before his death, though they stopped short of providing details.
As the community mourns, investigators say the case has officially shifted from a simple missing-person incident to a full-scale inquiry with multiple unexplained elements.
