Latest Kensington Death Not Ruled a Strangulation

The Medical Examiner’s Office conducted a postmortem examination of 25-year-old Crystal Dawejko on Saturday.

Police responded to a radio call a little after 3 p.m. on Friday at the 2800 block of C Street in Kensington. That’s where they found Dawejko’s naked body, face down and covered with a blanket.

Dawejko was found about three blocks away from where the Kensington Strangler’s latest victim, 27-year-old Casey Mahoney, was discovered raped and strangled last week.  Examiners found no evidence of trauma or strangulation on Dawejko however. The cause of death is pending as investigators continue to run toxicology tests.
