A Denver hairstylist who was missing for two months before her body was found in Lakewood died of an unknown cause, an autopsy reads, but the document listed out a few possibilities as the investigation continues.

Jax Gratton, 34, was last seen on the evening of April 15. After her disappearance, her loved ones searched the metro for her.

On June 6, police in Lakewood began investigating a suspicious death after finding a decomposed body in a narrow space between two buildings along the 9600 block of W. Colfax Avenue. A bystander had discovered the body and called authorities, police said.

The following day, Gratton’s mother, Cherilynne Gratton-Camis, announced on Facebook that the body was her daughter. Gratton-Camis said a detective was able to identify the body by the tattoos. At that point, Gratton had been missing for about two months.
