Police identified the woman as 50-year-old Nailia Vodovskaia, of Glastonbury.
The OCME said Vodovskaia died of exposure to cold temperatures. Acute and chronic alcohol use, as well as hypertensive cardiovascular disease, also contributed to her death, officials said.
The woman's death was ruled an accident. Officers responded to a report of a vehicle in a pond at the Glastonbury Hills Country Club on Dec. 28 around 9 a.m.

Investigators believe Vodovskaia's SUV drove on the golf course and into the pond.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone who has information is asked to call Sgt. Brandon Ritchie at 860-633-8301
