Two Saudi Arabian sisters whose bodies were bound together when they mysteriously washed up in New York City had killed themselves, a medical examiner has ruled.
The bodies of Tala Farea, 16, and Rotana Farea, 23, were discovered in October in the Hudson River on Manhattan's Upper West Side - two months after they were last seen in Virginia where they had been living in a shelter amid allegations they were abused at home.
They were found fully clothed and facing each other with their feet and waists taped together.
Authorities at the time said there were no obvious signs of trauma and they were alive when they went into the water.
The medical examiner's official ruling brings an end to months of rampant speculation about the mysterious deaths of the sisters in the wake of the October 2 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at a Saudi embassy in Turkey.

The New York medical examiner said on Tuesday that the sisters had committed suicide.
'My office determined that the death of the Farea sisters was the result of suicide, in which the young women bound themselves together before descending into the Hudson River,' the examiner ruled.
The cause of death was drowning.
Tala and Rotana moved to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia with their mother in 2015, settling in Fairfax, a suburb of Washington D.C.
The sisters were last seen in Virginia on August 24 and were reported missing on September 12. They had been living in a shelter in Virginia at the time of their disappearance following allegations that they were abused at home.
Police, citing credit card records, an Uber receipt and other evidence, said the sisters arrived in New York City on September 1 after making stops in Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia.

A jogger said he saw the two women praying near the Hudson River on Manhattan's Upper West Side (above) just hours before their bodies were found
They had been staying at expensive hotels and ordering meals until a credit card they were using maxed out.
The two women appeared to be in good health on security video police located from about a week before their bodies were found.
A jogger said he saw the two women praying at a playground near the river, sitting about 30 feet apart with their heads in their hands, just hours before their bodies were found.
People who knew the Farea sisters in Virginia told investigators that they made statements within the last year indicating 'that they would rather inflict harm on themselves - commit suicide - than return to Saudi Arabia.'
Officials at the time stopped short of saying that the sisters had killed themselves.
Police released sketches of the sister's faces and posted repeated calls for the public's help in identifying them on social media in the weeks before they were identified
The mother of the two sisters told detectives that the day before the bodies were discovered, she received a call from an official at the Saudi Arabian Embassy, ordering the family to leave the U.S. because her daughters had applied for asylum.
The Saudi Arabian Embassy has denied talking to the family about any asylum request.
Rotana was enrolled at George Mason University, in Fairfax, but left in the spring.
Police initially struggled to identify the bodies as much of the city and the country was transfixed by other news, such as the package bombs sent to a dozen prominent Democrats and CNN's New York City bureau.
Police released sketches of the sister's faces and posted repeated calls for the public's help in identifying them on social media.
Once they were identified, police sent detectives to Virginia to piece together the last months of their lives.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
