You mean suicide? Say the word.

My favorite part of these threads is all the amateur sleuthing based on limited information.

Fact: The police know more about this case than you.

Carry on. Or don't.

Somebody suffering from a mental health break down don't always die by suicide.

Incredibly sad.

They didn’t rule it out. They’ve just said not yet. She was outside for 6 days, hard to tell. If they don’t have a suspect yet they’re not going to announce that.

How did nobody see her body near the tennis courts for SIX days? They had helicopters and drones and search parties.

So awful. Prayers to her family. This is where you think your kids are safe, at school.

Unless someone moved the body. What a horrible news.

Nor is a young woman likely to drop dead of some mysterious catastrophic event like a heart attack or stroke. It just doesn't happen.

Also, a young 20-something-year-old woman is highly unlikely to just keel over and drop dead from cancer, while out for a midnight stroll.

I'm going to go with either a boyfriend/suitor who killed her, or she was hit by a car driven by a drunk driver, and subsequently tossed into a ditch. Or accidental alcohol poisoning, or drug OD, and her friends panicked and dumped her somewhere.

Homicide or accident.

Suicides on college campuses are actually up sharply in recent years. It is the number 1 cause of death for college students. 7% of students in college say they have seriously considered suicide.

There were a number of high-profile college student suicides in the Spring, especially among athletes, including a James Madison University softball player.

You sound incredibly ignorant. Maybe you should sit the rest of this discussion out.

And Stanford's WoSo goalkeeper.

No idea whether this was suicide, but sadly, high achievement does not preclude mental health issues. It's tremendously sad.

My heart hurts for her family and the Princeton community. It is a very difficult loss.

It is incomprehensible that it would take so long to find her. She missed an immigration meeting. I think the police are not giving the full story, or covering up their incompetence at not being able to locate her.

It’s the not finding that is so odd. I know a couple people that had unexpected severe medical events in college—one heart attack from a previously unrecognized heart defect, and one who collapsed in a diabetic coma when she had not previously been diagnosed as diabetic (and just thought she was losing weight and feeling run down from a chill.). My sister found the diabetic collapsed in their dorm room and was able to call 911 in time. College kids do ignore a lot of medical symptoms because they are always tired and health services are usually terrible anyway.

This. Signs point to suicide. So horribly sad.

I think it sounds drug related.

But with "no obvious signs of injury," that would likely occur by drug overdose, which should be able to be detected. Or, maybe they found a note. A sudden health incident is another possibility, but seems unlikely to have occurred in that particular area, unless she was moved.

Medical or mental it’s still an awful tragedy. Suicide of a young person is particularly heartbreaking. So sorry for her and her family.

I think it's probably the opposite - there's probably a correlation with high achievement and mental health issues. Those kids put a lot of pressure on themselves and probably get it from their families too.

yes, this.

I find it so sad that stuff like this has to be reported in the news at all. If it were my loved one I would not want it in the news. It’s sad that families don’t have that right to privacy.

You have no idea what your are talking about and saying "Suicide amongst women at university isn't really much of a thing" is insensitive and offensive.

Also, saying all women attempt suicide with pills and in a "non dramatic" fashion is BS -- ask me how I know.
