A 22-year-old Duquesne University student was found dead Sunday in a dorm room, authorities said.
Cheyenne Warner, of Slippery Rock, was pronounced dead at 5:26 p.m., according to the Allegheny County medical examiner’s office. She was found unresponsive in Brottier Hall off Forbes Avenue.
Douglas Frizzell, vice president of student life, confirmed Ms. Warner’s death in a campus-wide email Sunday. The cause of death is not yet known; an autopsy is planned for today.
Ms. Warner was a graduate student in the school of education.
Friend Ben Torisky, a senior physics major, told The Duquesne Duke campus newspaper that Ms. Warner wanted to be a high school physics teacher.
