It appears Mackenzie died of a tragic accident.

When she didn’t come home, her family reported her missing and spent the next two days searching for her.
A young man walking on the train tracks behind a Hannaford supermarket found her body Sunday afternoon.
A candlelight vigil was held in her memory Sunday night at her high school, where Mackenzie was a sophomore.
Her grandmother remembers talking to Mackenzie before she left that night.
“My heart is broken,” says Sowa, “and I don’t know how to fix it.”
The District Attorney’s Office says the medical examiner will perform an autopsy for positive identification and also to determine the cause of death. They will also see whether Mackenzie had any drugs or alcohol in her system when she fell.
