The Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office said that no foul play was suspected in the girl's death, nor were alcohol and drugs a factor. Authorities believe the girl's death may have resulted from a possible medical condition.
A candlelight vigil was held for Lemanowicz at Giangiulo Turf Field on Saturday night.
