Hypothermia due to cold exposure may have contributed to the death of a woman found Friday morning at Crest Hill self-storage facility, the Will County Coroner’s office said Saturday.

The coroner identified the woman as 30-year-old Tiana M. Wallace.

Although Crest Hill police were initially investigating the incident as a “suspicious death,” an autopsy performed Saturday revealed that hypothermia may have been a factor in her death, the coroner’s office said.

Wallace’s body was found at U-Store-It, 1906 Plainfield Road, and she was pronounced dead at 9:58 a.m. Friday.

An elderly Bolingbrook man may also have fallen victim to the cold, the coroner’s office said. The 84-year-old man was found outside his home on Thursday.
