No info other than than the fact that it was not foul play,

I believe they stated that any information regarding cause of death would wait until the medical examiners report.

I had a feeling that would be the case. Just awful for everyone involved. Thoughts go out to her family, friends and the NU community.

Daily: Death ruled a suicide

NU needs to do away with Foster Walker. Just the history alone condemns it. Awful place.

Anxiety and depression too often affect high achieving young people, and the signs can be hard to notice. If your child is withdrawn, losing interest in things he/she likes, -please do not judge and -get him/her professional help.
