Police in the U.S. Virgin Islands have released the cause of death of Jamie Cail, the former champion swimmer who died in St. John in February.

Cail, 42, died of accidental fentanyl poisoning, according to the island’s medical examiner, the Virgin Islands Police Department said in a news release.

“The report stated the cause of death is fentanyl intoxication with aspiration of gastric content. Manner of death is accidental,” according to the Virgin Islands Police Department.

Authorities had initially opened a criminal investigation into the circumstances surrounding the New Hampshire native’s death, they said earlier this year.

Cail was found unresponsive in the home she shared with her boyfriend in the early hours of February 21, according to a police report.

The boyfriend, whose name was not released by authorities, told police that he found Cail on the floor after he returned home from a bar to check on her around 12:08 a.m.
