A woman whose body was found last month in a desert area of the northwest valley died from methamphetamine intoxication, the Clark County coroner’s office said.

The body of Julisa Zunini, a 25-year-old Las Vegas woman, was found Aug. 10 off the road on or near the 8900 block of Las Vegas Boulevard North, North Las Vegas police said.

The day her body was found, the discovery was described as “definitely suspicious” by North Las Vegas police spokesman Eric Leavitt.

The coroner’s office said the manner of Zunini’s death was undetermined.
