BURLINGTON, IOWA (AP) -- Burlington police detectives say they're now investigating the death of a 51-year-old woman found whose body was found by her 10-year-old grandson as a homicide.
   
Investigators said Monday that they were awaiting a final autopsy report from the Iowa Medical Examiner's Office on Susan Overton. They did not disclose how the woman was killed. Her autopsy was done Sunday in Ankeny.
   
Overton's grandson found her body Friday after he arrived from school at the house where Overton had been staying.
