Autopsy for NJ Student Found Dead at Villanova

Sophomore Kinara Patel was found Thursday morning in a dorm room

Authorities are awaiting autopsy results for a college student from New Jersey who was found dead in a dorm room in Pennsylvania this week.

Police and Villanova University officials say 18-year-old sophomore Kinara Patel was found Thursday morning in a dorm room at the suburban Philadelphia school.

School vice president for student John Stack said there were no obvious signs of foul play.

Patel is from Bergenfield, N.J. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports police said Patel spent Wednesday night out with friends in nearby Bryn Mawr and that alcohol may have been a factor.

An autopsy was to be conducted Friday by the Delaware County medical examiner.
