Final Roll Call 4153. STLCO 10-42 10/13 @ 1519
There is still little information about the cause of death of a young Farmington Hills woman whose body was found on top of a Home Depot store in Commerce Township.

A representative for the Oakland County Medical Examiner’s Office said an autopsy performed Friday morning on 23-year-old Elizabeth Hock, who’d been missing for a week, found no evidence of foul play.

Her cause of death is listed as “pending toxicology results.”

Authorities said it appeared Hock had been dead for several days when she was discovered Thursday on the roof of the home improvement store in the Commerce Crossing ShoppingCenter, at 14 Mile and Haggerty Road.

It’s still a mystery how and why she was up there, but police have said her death is not being considered suspicious.

Hock’s family last saw her alive on Tuesday, Sept. 6. Her sister, Emilie, said she last spoke with her sister that night and began to become concerned when Hock didn’t return her texts or calls in the following days. Her dad, Ed Hock, said that with no one having heard from Elizabeth for so long, they began to suspect that something bad might have happened to her.

Concern for her well-being grew when Elizabeth’s 1999 Gold Ford Crown Victoria was found by police in front of a PetSmart, next door to the Home Depot, on Tuesday — with her purse and ID inside.

Oakland County Sheriff’s officials were called to the PetSmart two days later after an unaccounted for set of car keys were found in the store. Investigating deputies found some of the missing woman’s personal belongings on the roof of the business; and while searching the roof of the adjoining Home Depot, they found her body near a large commercial HVAC unit.

Elizabeth Hock, who went by “Liz”, was described by coworkers at the Birmingham Athletic Club as “super, super nice.” She was taking business classes at Oakland Community College.

Thank you sir, it's apparently too early for my copy and paste skills. :wacky:
[doublepost=1474111866,1474110647][/doublepost]So a friend on her FB page is claiming "straight from the cops mouths" that she committed suicide.

But the question now swirling is...roof access is only available through a locked janitor's closet. How did she convince someone to open the door for her and go to the roof alone?

They are also claiming no ladders or signs that she could've climbed there from the exterior were immediately seen.

Again. It's FB. Take that information with as much validity as you see fit.
 
Sounds suspicious to me, how in the hell did she get up there? Why were her keys left in the Petsmart? Did they find any evidence that she accessed the roof thru the PS? Suicide or overdose, I can believe, the strangeness of this is what is unbelievable.
 
Something is really off with this death. I really have a strong feeling this was not suicide. She seemed like a really well liked really well rounded gal. This is too bizarre and I'm going to be pissed if the cops keep blowing it off as a suicide unless they have forensic evidence of that. How the hell did she get to the roof with no outdoor access. It had to be accessed in the store. Also her car keys were left at Pet Smart. Not at Home Depot. They have to have video in the stores of her entering, being there and leaving or not leaving. This one has me wracking my brain folks.
 
Having worked in a couple large box type stores, Wal-Mart and K-Mart, I don't understand how she even knew where the roof access was. They don't open from the sales floor, they are usually way in the back of the stockroom or from out of an office somewhere, not right on the sales floor for any and all to use it.

In fact, tho I know they have roof access in all stores since air units are usually on the roof, I never knew where the roof access was in either store, I didn't need to know, only the people that needed to be up there knew that, it wasn't a secret, just why would you need or want to know if you didn't need anything up there.

I just find this so unbelievable that she just wandered into a PetSmart or HomeDepot and went up on the roof thru an unmarked door in a large stock room and committed suicide.
