The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Wednesday that the autopsy found that Lynn Turner died on Aug. 30 after an overdose of propranolol, a prescription blood pressure medication that Turner had been prescribed.
Georgia Chief Medical Examiner Kris Sperry said there was no evidence of injury or foul play and that he classified the death as a suicide.
The former 911 operator from north Georgia was convicted in 2004 of killing her husband, Glenn Turner, in 1995. Authorities first thought he died of natural causes, but reopened the investigation in 2001 after her boyfriend, Randy Thompson, was found to have been poisoned.
