A missing Florida college student died of 'multiple blunt force injuries due to a fall,' a coroner ruled last week, months after her body was found behind a fire station in South Carolina.
Sheridan Wahl, 21, was last seen on September 19 in Myrtle Beach, where she went to visit her father.
Her body was found two days later in Pamplico, South Carolina, at the base of a fire department training tower.

'Therefore, the only options for manner of death is homicide, suicide or accident and we don't know. That's why I ruled it as undetermined.'
