Nearly a week later, on Saturday, Feb. 15, school police and the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office said a body matching her description was found in “hard-to-reach terrain” near the 40-mile marker of Boulder Canyon.

The Boulder County Coroner's Office positively identified her body on Tuesday, Feb. 18. While sharing the news in its own update, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office said their office would conduct an additional investigation and that the final cause and manner of death was still pending.

The sheriff's office reiterated similar sentiments in its March 11 update, stating: "Although the cause and manner of death has yet to be determined by the Boulder County Coroner’s Office, we still have no reason to believe that there is, or was, a threat to the community."

Trussell's family and loved ones previously gathered for a memorial near where Trussell's body was found.

During the Monday, Feb. 17 ceremony, her father, Joe Trussell, thanked the local community for "the outpouring of love and support."

"If Megan was here, if she’s watching this, then she has a darkly inappropriate joke for the whole thing, because that’s who she is. It's a terrible thing that’s happened but the best way we can honor her is to get better, to find out what happened," said Joe, per The Denver Post.
