Shanice Clark, 21, a senior from Ontario, Canada, was found unresponsive at the Vulcan Village Apartments Jan. 18.
Police said her roommates found her when she fell off her bed.
Reports from medical personnel at the time indicated that Clark aspirated on chewing gum while she was sleeping, but coroner Tim Warco’s report does not indicate chewing gum as a cause.
Clark was a communication studies major and a forward on the women's basketball team.
