MOSES LAKE — The Grant County Coroner’s Office determined Heather Hurley Smith, 30, Moses Lake, died of natural causes stemming from a diabetic problem.

Smith was found dead in a home just outside of Moses Lake along Stratford Road Dec. 2, 2008.

Smith died from a diabetic issue called diabetic ketoacidosis, the coroner’s officer reported. It results in inadequate insulin levels causing significant alterations in blood chemistry.
