Her death was previously deemed suspicious, but authorities didn't say Tuesday if it was considered a homicide. State and local police were still investigating what happened to Swan. However, Swan's death is not believed to have happened at random and there was no threat to public safety, prosecutors said.

The woman who called 911 reported that Swan was unconscious and partially clothed in the side yard of the home, which is on Belmont Street, prosecutors said. When police and firefighters arrived, the woman was face-down and later pronounced dead at the scene.
