Authorities have identified the body of a woman who was found in a car that crashed Sunday morning behind a home-improvement store in Blaine.
Gina L. Lieser, 34, of Circle Pines was found dead by an employee of Lowe's at Central and 117th Avenues NE. about 7 a.m. Sunday, according to the Anoka County Sheriff's Office.
Foul play is not suspected in the death, the Sheriff's Office said, but authorities are still looking into why she died.
The car hit a fence and law enforcement officers arrived to find the woman slumped over the steering wheel.
