Zheng\u2019s cause of death was a broken neck while Liang succumbed to self-inflicted stab wounds, autopsies determined, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor\u2019s office did not provide more information, including whether or not this was a murder-suicide.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said in response to a follow-up email the office did not want to further comment on the possible manner of death until the probe is wrapped up.<\/p>\n

The major crimes unit with the prosecutor\u2019s office and Atlantic City police are probing the case.<\/p>\n
