An airline passenger who was killed Tuesday when an engine explosion caused a window to break died of blunt impact trauma to her head, neck and torso, according to the Philadelphia medical examiner. James Garrow of the Philadelphia Department of Public Health told reporters Wednesday evening that Jennifer Riordan’s death was ruled accidental. The engine failure happened at about 32,000 feet, about 20 minutes after the jetliner left New York’s LaGuardia Airport. Although Riordan was wearing a seatbelt, her body was partially sucked out the window soon after the explosion, according to The New York Times. Officials are also still trying to figure out how the window came out of the plane, according to The Associated Press.
