Cambria County coroner Jeff Lees has released the official cause of death for 5-year-old Samson Bowser, who authorities say was allegedly killed by his mother, Jennifer Bowser, on Monday afternoon.

Lees has ruled Bowser's death as asphyxia due to "compression of the chest and obstruction of the airway.'

The coroner's office has also formally ruled his death as a homicide.

Police say 41-year-old Jennifer Bowser was arraigned Monday night after her son was found unresponsive at Martha's Manor, in Cresson Township, where she and her child were reportedly living.

Authorities say Bowser is accused of killing her son because "voices" told her to do so.

During a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Cambria County coroner Jeff Lees identified the 5-year-old boy who was reportedly killed by his mother, 41-year-old Jennifer Bowser.

Lees said that when authorities arrived at Martha's Manor, in Lilly, Monday afternoon, Samson Bowser had reportedly been dead for hours already.

Officials say an autopsy of the boy is scheduled for late Tuesday.

Authorities noted that Jennifer Bowser and her son had reportedly been living at the facility, for approximately one year, since the facility was owned by the child's grandmother (Jennifer Bowser's mother).

According to the criminal affidavit, police say Bowser had allegedly killed her son because "voices" told her to do so.

Authorities also noted that, according to her family, she had recently sought treatment at a mental health facility due to the so-called "voices."

A Cambria County woman who killed her 5-year-old son after voices allegedly told her to do it was sentenced to serve six to 20 years in state prison, followed by 20 years of state supervision.

In February, Jennifer Bowser pleaded guilty with mental illness to third-degree murder and child endangerment in the child’s death.

The charges stem from the boy being strangled to death at an assisted living community in Cresson Township in 2024.
