CONCORD — It could be weeks before authorities know for certain what killed Celina Cass, the missing Stewartstown girl whose body was found Monday in the Connecticut River.
A Tuesday autopsy of the 11-year-old's body has not determined the manner and cause of Cass' death, homicide prosecutor Jane E. Young said.
Young said the crucial rulings won't be made until results of toxicology tests are received.
Young, a senior assistant attorney general, said such tests usually take four to six weeks, but authorities are trying to hurry the process as much as possible.
The death continues to be investigated as suspicious, said Young, who would not discuss whether police have a suspect or person of interest in the case.

Dive teams found Cass' body Monday at the PSNH Canaan Hydro Station.
The location is about a half-mile from Cass' West Stewartstown home.
Cass' body was found almost a week after her family said they had last seen the girl, at 9 p.m. July 25, in her room on the computer. Her family reported her missing the following day.
