A police report identifies a body found on the far East Side late Tuesday morning as Shania Criss, 21.

She was found near a home in the 100 block of Keogh Avenue by a person on a bicycle, bleeding from the nose with a purse next to her, reports said.

A news release from the Mahoning County Coroner’s office said an autopsy was done Wednesday and no evidence of lethal trauma was found. It said toxicology results are still pending.

The police report does not say where Criss is from, but a member of the detective bureau said Tuesday she is from Girard. A cellphone was found in her purse, which allowed officers to confirm her identity, the news release said.
