Hottle died from “blunt force injuries” and her death was ruled an accident, the Maryland Office of the Chief Medical Examiner told the US Sun Wednesday.
The child actor was one of two passengers involved in the fatal crash, the Fredrick County Sheriff’s Department shared in a press release Tuesday.
Per police, a 19-year-old was operating a 1995 Honda Accord when the vehicle “traveled off the right side of the two-lane roadway and struck a culvert.”
“Excessive speed is believed to be a contributing factor in the collision,” they shared in a statement.
The driver was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, while the other passenger denied medical assistance.
As for Hottle, she was taken to a local trauma center and later pronounced dead.
More heartbreaking details were revealed about the fatal crash in the Frederick County Sheriff, Fire and EMS dispatch audio obtained by Page Six. First responders arriving at the scene requested assistance locating someone who knew sign language or had access to an interpreter app to communicate with Hottle, who was deaf.
Dispatch audio also indicates that Hottle was “unconscious” when emergency personnel responded to the crash.
The actress’ dad, Joshua Hottle, who’s also deaf, announced her death in a tearful Facebook livestream Tuesday.
Joshua later told TMZ in ASL that he was in Texas when he got a call from authorities about the car crash, signing that he received a follow-up call stating his daughter’s heart had stopped en route to the hospital.
He then had to fly to Maryland to claim her body.
