The death of a woman who was found Sunday in a Clay Township wildlife area has been ruled a homicide.
Lancaster County Coroner Dr. Stephen Diamantoni said Monday afternoon that the woman died of “substantial trauma” to her body.
He declined to elaborate on the trauma.
The coroner said dental records are being used to identify the woman, who had been dead in Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area for “at least days.”

There’s a certain charm to a small-town police force such as Chief Richard Leisey Sr.’s department in Mohnton.
“Our residents like to see our car,” he said. “With a small department, we know the people who are in town, who they are, where they live.”
Like a number of other Berks County police chiefs, Leisey fears that personal touch would fade if his department joined a regional police force.
But as budget cuts force small departments to work fewer hours, cut officers or even disband, the idea of a regional force is looking better and better to Leisey.
“We would have 24/7 (local coverage) again,” he said.
