Purdue Student Dead In Dorm; Foul Play Not Suspected

Authorities are investigating the death of a Purdue University student whose body was discovered during a fire drill.

The Tippecanoe County coroner says foul play is not suspected. The young man was found Tuesday night in a locked room at Hillenbrand Hall. Resident assistants were checking rooms to ensure students were participating in the fire drill.

The Lafayette Journal and Courier says an autopsy has been completed, but the student's name and other details haven't been released.
