Hill lived on Beachwood Boulevard.
Based on initial findings, the Plainfield Police Department said it was treating Hill’s death as suspicious, but the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined that Hill died from atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease and her death was from natural causes.
Plainfield Supt. Paul Brenton said some students were on the DATTCO bus and might have seen Hill unconscious in the driveway during their bus route and counselors would be speaking with the children who were on the bus.
