INDIANAPOLIS – An autopsy shows a convicted sex offender who struggled with a father after entering a teenage girl’s Indianapolis bedroom died of strangulation.

Marchele Hall of the Marion County coroner’s office said the cause of 52-year-old David T. Meyers’ death was ruled Monday to be asphyxia by strangulation with contributing cardiovascular disease.

County prosecutor’s office spokesman Matthew Symons said no charges are anticipated against 64-year-old Robert McNally, who locked his arm around Meyers’ neck and held him when he found him in his 17-year-old daughter’s bedroom early Sunday.

Police said Meyers was naked except for a mask and latex gloves. Police said he entered the home through a window near the girl’s bedroom with rope, condoms and a knife.
