Although no charges have been filed, the case will be classified as a homicide due to the injuries eventually leading to Tschudy’s death 38 years later, with no statute of limitations in coroner cases, according to the York County Coroner’s Office statement.
The office also mentioned that there will not be a post-mortem examination and Mr Tschudy’s next of kin had been notified of his passing.
