The Larimer County Coroner’s Office will release the cause and manner of death, as well as the man’s identity after the family has been notified.
Baker was taken into custody and booked on first-degree murder and domestic violence charges, and is currently being held at the Larimer County Jail.
The Coloradoan reported that court proceedings have already begun to take place. At a hearing Tuesday afternoon, it was decided that Baker would be held without bond, as she is charged with a capital offense.
Baker’s lawyer, Kathryn Hay, has “filed a number of motions in Baker’s case, including one that would prohibit police from reaching out or interviewing Baker except through her designated counsel in relation to the murder case or any other pending litigation,” as reported by The Coloradoan
Baker’s next hearing is set at 8:15 a.m. Oct. 11.
