The Kentucky State Medical Examiner's Office determined that the student's cause of death was asphyxiation via manual strangulation, the Campbellsville Police Department wrote in a Monday press release.
A warrant was issued for 21-year-old Charles Escalera's arrest shortly after Kilman's body was found – police distributed security images from a nearby Lowe's, where he was last seen. Escalera and Kilman were both students at Campbellsville.
