“As for the cause of the accident, it is currently believed to have been the result of a medical emergency, which is consistent with the vehicle’s deceleration and steering behavior,” wrote Katelynn before she wrapped her update.
“We deeply appreciate the continued prayers and support as we navigate this unbearable tragedy. We are grateful for the continued prayers,” she concluded in part.
Katelynn’s update comes shortly after PEOPLE confirmed that Preston’s official cause of death was listed as “blunt force injuries due to a motor vehicle crash.” The St. Tammany Parish coroner’s office also stated that the child’s manner of death had been categorized as accidental.
As previously reported by PEOPLE, the Ordone family’s older daughter Paisley was not in the car at the time of the crash.
