An autopsy Tuesday determined that accidental drowning caused the death of 91-year-old Jane Daniel, whose car ran off Cameron Mill Road and slid into West Point Lake. Daniel, who lived alone on Park Avenue, was driving north Monday morning when the 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme went off the right side of the road in a curve just north of Country Club Drive and traveled along the inside of a guardrail for more than 100 yards before entering the lake. She got out of the vehicle, but apparently slipped and fell on the rocky incline and couldn’t get up, police detective Jeremy Jones said. The water depth was about 2 1/2 to 3 feet.
