Autopsy information released Saturday shows an El Monte woman who died last week of what was believed to have been a self-induced drug overdose was murdered, authorities said.
Sheriff’s homicide detectives were investigating the death of Annette Nunez, 40, who was found unconscious inside her home at 2826 Meeker Ave. last Thursday, Deputy Van Mosley said.
She was taken to Greater El Monte Community Hospital where she died a short time later.
Hospital officials at the time thought Nunez had died from a drug overdose, Mosley said.
