The 70-year-old woman was found by a caretaker at 9 a.m., and she was pronounced dead at 9:23 a.m., according to a news release from McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski.

An examination Tuesday showed signs of cold exposure, officials said, but the final cause of death has not yet been determined. Foul play is not suspected.
