Aiken Department of Public Safety confirmed Tuesday a "suspicious death" occurred after noon at Glendale Terrace Apartments on York Street.
Lauren McKinney, 28, of Aiken, was found dead at her home, according to Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton.
The death was called "out of the ordinary," according to Aiken Department of Public Safety Lt. Karl Odenthal.
S.C. State Law Enforcement Division investigators have been called in to help conduct the investigation, Odenthal said.
The investigation is ongoing, and an autopsy is scheduled in Newberry today, Carlton said.
"Investigators are treating the death as 'suspicious' due to the fact that the cause of death is not readily identifiable," Aiken Department of Public Safety Lt. Jake Mahoney stated in a press release.
