The tragedy happened back on New Year's Day, but a coroner in Michigan has finally ruled on the manner and cause of death in the unusual gun death case.

According to our sister website, MLive.com, in Michigan, shooting victim Christina Bond, 55, a Navy vet, was adjusting the handgun in her bra holster when she accidentally shot herself in the eye at her Lake Michigan home.

MLive.com writes that St. Joseph Public Safety detectives are still waiting on the full autopsy report in the death, but released these new details on the circumstances of the shooting to the Kalamazoo Gazette on Wednesday:

"She was having trouble adjusting her bra holster, couldn't get it to fit the way she wanted it to. She was looking down at it and accidentally discharged the weapon," said St. Joseph Public Safety Director Mark Clapp.

Officers responded to 396 Upton Drive at 5:10 p.m. Jan. 1 to find Bond with a gunshot wound to the eye. She was taken to Lakeland Hospital and then airlifted to Bronson Methodist Hospital where she died the next day.

According to her obituary, published in the Herald-Palladium, Bond spent two years in the U.S. Navy after high school. She was an administrator at Road to Life Church for 15 years and often ministered at the Berrien County Jail.
