The teen, identified as 19-year-old Jade Williams, was transported to the SEARHC clinic by Kake EMS after she was discovered, but, unfortunately, was declared deceased after she arrived there.

Troopers were not able to respond to the small community on the north end of Kupreanof Island until late on Wednesday afternoon because of inclement weather.

AST has not revealed the  cause of death or any other details in their continuing investigation as yet.
