The medical examiner found that Langhorst died by suicide from methamphetamine and cocaine intoxication.
Her two children's deaths were both caused by methamphetamine and ruled homicides, the report stated.

Langhorst was found sitting in the driver's seat of the vehicle while her two children's bodies were seated in the back seats.
