The death of Elena Katherine Moore — a personal trainer in South Carolina who was confirmed dead last Friday — remains a mystery for now … her autopsy found no obvious cause of death and no signs she suffered any traumatic injuries.
Authorities say the examination revealed no bruising, cuts, gunshot wounds, stab wounds, blunt-force trauma, strangulation, or other external injuries … leaving investigators waiting until they can determine exactly what happened.
The preliminary autopsy was conducted Saturday, according to Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher, who says additional tests — including histological studies and toxicology screening — are still underway. Until those results come back, the cause and manner of Moore’s death remain pending.
As TMZ previously reported, Moore disappeared two weeks ago after leaving a Planet Fitness and heading toward a wooded area. Her husband reported her missing the next day … sparking a massive search effort.

Days later, authorities located a body in the same wooded area wearing clothing matching what Moore had on when she vanished. Authorities confirmed the body was Moore on Friday … she was 39 years old.

TMZ also spoke with one of Moore’s friends, who claimed Elena had been acting “paranoid” in the weeks before her disappearance and told her during a brunch outing that she was scared for her life.
For now, investigators appear to have more questions than answers … with the autopsy ruling out obvious physical trauma but offering no immediate explanation for her death.
