“Based on the results of the autopsy and after a careful deliberation and review of the investigative materials by both U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, federal prosecutors informed Ms. Robinson’s family today that the available evidence does not support a federal prosecution,” the news release said. After the shocking news was revealed. The family’s attorney, Sue-Ann Robinson spoke out saying, “While we’re disappointed, we’re not deterred, we’re going to press on and… demand that there’s a high level of diplomatic intervention in this case,” Robinson said.

Robinson also said the reports from the second autopsy showed brain swelling but said the the cause of death was inconclusive.

As we previously reported, Robinson, 25, left Charlotte on a trip to Cabo, Mexico with a group of friends on Oct. 28 and never returned home. The next day, Mexican authorities say a doctor came to the hotel and tried to revive Robinson around 3:15 p.m.

Medican personnel said they noticed Robinson had a poor verbal response, was in a state of drunkenness and was dehydrated, but had stable vital signs, according to the police report. The medical professional at the scene advised Robinson’s friends to transfer her to a hospital but her friends insisted she stay at the villa, the report said.
