Following an autopsy, police announced the death wasn't consider to be suspicious, although an investigation by the coroner into the cause of death is ongoing.

An online obituary stated Arsenijevic died "as the result of an accident." A memorial service for the 20-year-old was held in West Lorne on Thursday.
