“This was a tragic accident, and no foul play is suspected,” police said in a statement, after authorities had responded to a “possible suicide attempt”.
However, Bethel’s family statement said, ”As is common with any death that is not due to natural causes, law enforcement will conduct an investigation into the cause of death. Thus, the investigation into the cause of Zoe’s death is part of the normal protocol for law enforcement, and is still open and pending.

”The initial police report is simply preliminary and is not conclusive, and is further absent specific facts from eyewitness testimony that would alter the ‘incident type’ status listed on the preliminary police report.”
Following Bethel’s death, her family said they did all they could to save her life.
