She was staying in the room with five other students, but her housemates had reportedly returned to their hometowns for the holidays on June 21.
An autopsy identified her cause of death as blunt force trauma to the head. Police said there were no signs that her residence had been broken into, and that she had not suffered injuries consistent with rape.
