Preliminary autopsy results show 3-year-old Renna William's died from an accidental drowning.
After a nearly 24 hour search, the little girl was found dead in a canal near her Danbury, Wis. home Wednesday afternoon.
Investigators drained and searched the canal Thursday. They are now doing 3D image mapping of the property.
Friends describe Renna as a 'china doll' with an adventurous spirit.
It's unclear what led Renna into the woods Tuesday. According to a family friend, her mom was sleeping and her dad was watching her.
Renna's dad apparently went into the house to get something to drink, and that's when she disappeared.
Sheriff Dean Roland tells KSTP, Renna's mother was shopping when the little girl's body was found. shopping? therapy? distraction? i'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt right now.
Investigators are not saying whether Renna's death was an accident, or whether a crime was committed.
The sheriff also says earlier on the same day she went missing and had been found wandering in Danbury, about 12 blocks away from her home. A neighbor took her back.
The canal where her body was found was drained to search for any evidence. The sheriff there's nothing to indicate foul play but says part of the investigation will be to find out "who was watching her" and "why was she walking around alone before she went missing."
