Clallam County authorities say autopsy test results next week may determine the cause of death for a 13-year-old Port Angeles who was found dead in a tent while camping.

The sheriff's office is investigating the death of Lillian Star Taylor because of her age. Sheriff Bill Benedict told The Peninsula Daily News no crime is suspected.

She was camping with her family when she was found dead Friday morning at the Tumbling Rapids Campground near Beaver on the Olympic Peninsula.

A celebration of life will be held for Lillian at 10 a.m. Saturday at Bethany Pentecostal Church in Port Angeles.
