Some news.
The autopsy, which Business Insider has reviewed, ruled her manner of death natural and said the cause was "sudden death in the setting of an acute manic episode," though it did not explain what killed the 33-year-old tech founder.
An investigation by San Jose police found no evidence of foul play, authorities said. Blood tests were negative for common prescription drugs and other substances.
"Sudden death has a medical definition," said Sally Aiken, a medical examiner and vice president of the National Association of Medical Examiners. She described it as an unexpected death that happens within an hour of onset and has a natural cause.
Valenti had a previous diagnosis for a thyroid condition that was treated with medication. The autopsy report noted that her condition could have contributed to her death, however, blood samples were not satisfactory for an analysis.
The autopsy report did, however, give new details around her mental state.
A police review of Valenti's electronic communications in the days before her scheduled return confirmed the family's account that she had showed symptoms of a "manic episode," according to the San Jose medical examiner's office.
Authorities also said a review of her medical records "suggest that the etiology of her final manic episode was related to an emerging, previously undiagnosed psychiatric disorder." The family told Business Insider last year that she had no diagnosis of a mental-health disorder.
A 33-year-old tech founder went to Silicon Valley on business and was found dead in her car a week later. Her cause of death was just identified as 'natural causes' following 'an acute manic episode.'
Rest in Peace sweet lady. I'm glad our paths x'd even though we are in different dimensions.
May her loving family now receive Divine catharsis.
