The death of 20-year-old James Madison University student Marisa Curlen has stunned a New York community who has lost three students from its 2013 class. Curlen was found dead in her dorm room in Harrisonburg early Friday morning. An autopsy was pending on Friday night, but the cause appeared to be alcohol poisoning, reported WCBS.
"Preliminary investigation indicates no suspicious circumstances or foul play. The investigation is pending per review from the medical examiner," Harrisonburg Police Department Lt. Roger Knott. The university has not released an official statement about her death.
Curlen was a sophomore and a member of the Alpha Phi chapter. The sorority posted a picture on Instagram mourning the loss of a sorority sister.
Curlen died within just months of two other classmates, who had drug overdoses, which has left her New York community reeling, reported WCBS.
"Sadly, the reason it's not shocking is, this is not the only town of affluent people with children that are privileged that has a drug and alcohol problem," Rye resident Ellen Kaplan said in an interview with WCBS.
Curlen is the 12th death in the JMU community in four years, reported JMU's student newspaper, The Breeze.
No vigils have been reported at this time, according to a spokesperson for the university.
