Bloomington police are investigating an apparent murder-suicide at an off-campus student apartment complex.
Police were called to the Stratum Apartments on Goodnight Way around 9:20 p.m. Wednesday. Officers found Chuanlin Xiao, 20, dead from apparent suicide. They discovered the body of Yaolin Wang, 21, nearby. She died from apparent stab wounds.
Police believe Xiao killed Wang before hanging himself.
Indiana University spokesperson Mark Land says Wang was an IU student from China. She was in her first semester at IU.
"The death of any student is a very sad time for the university and the apparent circumstances here are very tragic," Land said. "Our hearts and our thoughts go out to all of her family and friends."
The victim and suspect had been in a relationship for approximately six months and they had lived together at the apartment on Goodnight Way for approximately a month.
Police say the investigation is ongoing and have not released any additional information at this time.
