The death of a woman whose body was found on the side of a road in Woodbury on June 19 has been ruled a homicide, authorities said. 

Tina Daigle, 38, was assaulted and fatally strangled, according to a Monday afternoon brief from the Vermont State Police. The autopsy was conducted by the Chief Medical Examinerโ€™s Office in Burlington.

Daigle was born, raised and lived in Hardwick and had five children, according to an obituary. She was a nurseโ€™s assistant in several facilities across the Northeast Kingdom and worked at the ReSource thrift store in Morrisville. She was also an amateur collector, and particularly enjoyed items related to โ€œhighland cows, native American culture and apples.โ€

Police are still investigating, and no suspect has been named.
