The Laporte County coroner says a four-year-old Michigan City girl found dead, died of an “injury to the neck.”

Savannah Pioch was found dead in her mother and step-father’s Tall Timbers apartment earlier this month.

Her mother, 24-year old Melissa Bruce and step-father, Scott Bruce have been charged with neglect leading to her death.

According to our Read It/Watch It partners at the Michigan City News Dispatch, it may take the coroner’s office a few weeks to release the final report.

Prosecutors say the parents hit Savannah, then tied her up and left her in a sleeping bag.

Police do not know how long she was left there.
