The cause of death regarding Hannah Fischer, who was found dead on February 9, 2016, in the Village of Paulding, has also been released by the Coroner. Fischer died as a result of a single gunshot to the head, with the manner of death being homicide.
“My office will continue to press forward investigating this crime in conjunction with the Paulding Police Department. We believe these two cases are related, and we will now focus our investigation as such,” said Sheriff Jason K. Landers.
