The Los Angeles district medical examiner later identified the deceased woman as 36-year-old Ekaterina Novichkova from North Hollywood, the newspaper said.
Russian-speaking immigrants on Facebook suggest that the woman may not have been alone in the car and jumped out, fleeing threats, or could have been thrown out of the car. Police data to support these assumptions could not be found.
The site GoFundMe The Orthodox Church in Culver City, Los Angeles, of which Catherine was a parishioner, is raising funds for her funeral.
The fundraising page says the woman is left with a “very young son” and her parents cannot afford to pay funeral expenses for their daughter. Catherine will be buried on Wednesday, October 21, in Whittier, California.
