[QUOTE="allclearforfrogs, post: 505337, member: 2860"] TCU female student found dead at Lubbock Avenue residence Josh Davis Issue date: 1/19/10 Section: News PrintEmail Article Tools Page 1 of 1 Fort Worth Police are investigating the death of a 20-year-old female student whose body was found at her residence near campus at about 8 p.m. Monday on the 2800 block of Lubbock Avenue. Sgt. Chad Mahaffey, Fort Worth Police public information officer, said preliminary findings indicate no signs of a criminal assault or homicide, but the investigation is ongoing. The name of the student is being withheld pending official identification by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner. "Our homicide investigators are conducting a complete death investigation as is the case with all (unattended) deaths," Mahaffey said. Police responded to an emergency call at 8:07 p.m. at a residence in 2800 block of Lubbock Avenue and arrived with emergency units shortly after, according to a police incident detail report about the emergency call. Emergency Medical Service staff entered the residence, but did not bring an awaiting stretcher inside. According to incident report, the woman's roommate told police that she had found her roommate with duct tape over her mouth. However, Mahaffey wouldn't answer reporters' questions regarding those reports because he said it was an "evidentiary question." Don Mills, vice chancellor of Student Affairs, told the Skiff late Monday night that earlier reports that the woman was found with duct tape are false. "There was some duct tape; she was not bound with duct tape," Mills said. "Police and the medical examiner both told me that there's no criminal investigation… It's just so sad and tragic that we would lose someone from our student community. It's hard for students to comprehend, and it's hard for us, too." TCU Police Chief Steve McGee referred questions about the investigation to Fort Worth Police. "If foul play had been suspected, TCU Police would have issued a crime alert as soon as possible," McGee said. Wayo Dorsey, the landlord of the residence, said he had never had any incidents with the leaseholders. Mahaffey said the woman's family tried to contact the woman throughout the day Monday, then asked roommates to check up on her. A roommate called police reporting that the woman was unresponsive. Junior strategic communications major David Western, who lives next door to the house where the body was found, said he was on his porch when a woman ran out of the house and frantically asked him what had happened during the weekend. Police arrived a short time later, he said. [/QUOTE]
