Sabrina Cammock, a senior at SU, was on spring break with friends when she died. Cammock and her friends went out Friday night, then returned to their room at the Edison Hotel, 228 W. 47th St., and went to sleep, according to theNew York Daily News. Cammock, a senior track star, never woke up. She was 21.
With no signs of trauma on Cammock's body and no drugs found in the hotel room, police told news reporters they were waiting for autopsy results. The New York City medical examiner's office performed an autopsy Sunday, but the results were inconclusive.
sad news,hope they find out what took her life.
@ nadidia, I am also a bit suspicious since 21 year old athletes who are in tip-top shape, don't just drop dead...still, we will have to wait and see what the autopsy says....may she rest in peace.
