SANFORD — An Orlando woman whose nude body was found Saturday stuffed into a cardboard box in a drainage ditch near Altamonte Springs was beaten to death, an autopsy revealed.

Seminole County Sheriff's spokesman Ed McDonough said the autopsy also revealed that Elizabeth Doren, 26, had been dead for three to four days when her body was found by a 10-year-old boy.

''She died of blunt-force trauma,'' said McDonough.

Doren was reported missing Wednesday by a boyfriend, McDonough said.
