CALHOUN COUNTY, SC --

Investigators are trying to figure out what caused the death of 74-year-old Mary Sue Merchant found at a Calhoun County home.

Coroner Donnie Porth says investigators made a forced entry into the home, where they found the body in the bedroom.

The autopsy was inconclusive because the body had deteriorated so much.

Investigators say all indications point towards a natural cause of death.

They think Merchant died back in October or November of 2007.

If you have any information on her family, officials want to hear from you.  You can call them at  (803) 874-2741.
