The woman found burnt in a car in To­ba­go died from as­phyx­i­a­tion, ac­cord­ing to the re­sults of an au­top­sy per­formed yes­ter­day.

The burnt re­mains of Deb­o­rah Gopaul, an em­ploy­ee of Jade Dis­trib­u­tors, were found in a black Maz­da on the Claude Noel High­way in Low­lands on March 26.

Po­lice re­port­ed that the black Maz­da was found on fire on the south side of the Claude Noel High­way, near the “Wel­come to Canaan/ Bon Ac­cord” sign. Up­on check­ing, of­fi­cers found Gopaul, of John Gor­mon Trace, Crown Point, slumped over the steer­ing wheel. She was dressed on­ly in a white T-shirt and un­der­wear. Her hands were bound but she was not gagged, po­lice said then.

Fire of­fi­cers man­aged to ex­tin­guish the fire.

Two con­tain­ers of a liq­uid pro­pel­lant were found at the feet of the par­tial­ly burnt body.
