Update (Aug. 24): Missing Roseville resident Marcella Boerger, 83, was found dead just after 10:30 p.m. last night. She had been missing since Aug. 21.

According to a statement from the Roseville Police Department, it appears Boerger "experienced a medical emergency and drove off the road and down an embankment."

Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department deputies were dispatched to a vehicle found approximately 90 feet down an embankment off Count Road F, one-quarter of a mile east of Hamline Ave. The vehicle was found in a heavily wooded area that was not immediately visible from the road.

The responding deputy found the vehicle to be locked with a lone female seat belted into the driver’s seat. The windows were rolled up and the doors locked. After confirming she was deceased, she was positively identified as Boerger.

The Ramsey County Medical Examiner took possession of Boerger’s body and the Minnesota State Patrol responded to conduct a crash reconstruction.

Cause of death will be determined by the Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office.
