NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - The Connecticut medical examiner is withholding autopsy results on a Yale graduate student at the request of prosecutors.

Dr. Wayne Carver says prosecutors asked that the results be withheld “in order to facilitate the investigation” into the killing of 24-year-old Annie Le.

It wasn’t clear when the results would be released. Carver’s office had announced Monday that the death was a homicide but hasn’t reported the manner of Le’s death.

She vanished Tuesday from a Yale University research building, and her body was found five days later in a wall in the basement.

New Haven police say they’ve interviewed about 150 people in the case but do not expect to make an arrest Tuesday.
