Investigators hope to know by Friday the circumstances that led to the death of a Hilton Head Island woman who died in a zip line accident May 20 in Utah.

Lisa Lambe, 55, died on a ZipTour at the Sundance Mountain Resort in Sundance, Utah. She was a pharmacist at the CVS on Pope Avenue on Hilton Head Island.

“After the investigators went back to Sundance on Monday, they evaluated the area where the incident occurred to gather some more evidence in an effort to make sure we are making the right conclusion about what happened,” Utah County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Sgt. Spencer Cannon said Thursday afternoon.

Officials believe Lambe died of blunt force trauma but are trying to determine how she sustained the trauma. No foul play is suspected.

Funeral services for Lambe will be held Saturday, May 28, in Endicott, N.Y.

Allen Memorial Home in Endicott is directing the service. Rev. Father John Kurgan, pastor of Our Lady of Sorrows Church in nearby Vestal, N.Y. – from where Lambe previously hailed – will officiate. Burial will be in Vestal Hills Memorial Park Cemetery.

The family will receive friends at the Allen Memorial Home on Friday, May 27, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Vestal Dollar for Scholars, Lisa Yeates Lambe Scholarship, P.O. Box 959, Vestal, NY 13851-0959.
