A 24-year-old woman whose body was found stuffed into a suitcase in Greenwich, Connecticut, died of 'homicidal asphyxia,' or lack of oxygen, officials say.

A 24-year-old woman whose body was found stuffed into a suitcase in Greenwich, Connecticut, died of"homicidal asphyxia," or lack of oxygen, Linda Sylvia, spokeswoman for the Office of State Medical Examiner, told ABC News.Valerie Reyes' body was found on the side of the road on Feb. 5 with"obvious signs of head trauma," according to a criminal complaint charging her boyfriend, 24-year-old Javier Da Silva, with her death. She was last seen on Jan.

Da Silva told investigators that he and Reyes had sex at her home in New Rochelle, New York, on Jan. 29 and that she"fell to the floor and head her head," at some point, according to the complaint. Investigators narrowed in on Da Silva after he used her ATM card multiple times after she was killed, Berry said at the time.

Da Silva is being held without bail in federal custody. He was not required to enter a plea when he appeared in a federal magistrate court in White Plains in February.

Da Silva should be given no 'plea deal'. He should be in prison for life without the possibility of parole.

Horrific. May peace be upon her soul. 🙏🙏🙏

the suitcase was locked from the outside so how did she close it?

Just say she was Murdered..

This is heartbreaking, my prayers to her family and loved ones.

There is evil in this world. You can blame it on mental disorders or environment...but it’s evil. Our culture is creating an environment where darkness can spread. Praying God shines His light on this family in grief.

Terrible

16-year-old migrant who died in US custody had a tumor, officials sayThe teen died April 30 at Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi, Nueces County Medical Examiner's Office officials said. And of course it's always the pro-immigration, anti-ICE crowd that immediately jumped to the conclusion that it must have been the evil Trump Administration and his immigration policies that were to blame. It's gotten so old. Why was the child taken to three different hospitals? That complicates coordinating care and being able for doctors to see what the previous facilities have checked and already done/treated for
