Kiely Rodni’s Death Ruled Accidental By Nevada County Coroner

NEVADA COUNTY, CA – The death of 16-year-old Kiely Rodni of Truckee has been declared accidental, according to multiple sources citing the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office Coroner.

“This ruling is based on the pathologist’s finding that her death was the result of drowning and that there was no other information to suggest she was the victim of foul play,” the sheriff’s office said, according to FOX40.

Rodni was reported missing on August 6 after she attended a party with 200-300 “juveniles and young adults” at the Prosser Family Campground in Nevada County, authorities said.

On August 21, a body was found in the Prosser Reservoir. On August 23, the Nevada County Sheriff-Coroner identified the deceased as Rodni, according to the sheriff’s office.

As previously reported, the teen’s SUV was missing and her cell phone was untraceable after her disappearance.

Volunteer search group Adventures with Purpose found Rodni’s body inside her silver 2013 Honda CRV, which was upside down under 14 feet of water.

The area where the SUV was found had been searched since Rodni disappeared, including with divers and sonar. Water levels at the reservoir dropped several feet in the weeks between Rodni’s disappearance and the day her body was found.
