NORTHAMPTON - A 22-year-old Springfield woman who was a senior at Smith College was found dead on Friday.

No foul play is suspected, according to Mary Carey, communications director for Northwestern District Attorney David Sullivan. No details regarding the cause of death were disclosed.

Carey said the DA's office was not disclosing the name.

The name had been disclosed on various campus media and other publications as Noemi Collazo, a native of Springfield, who was due to graduate after next semester.

An e-mail that went out to the campus Friday afternoon alerted students to Collazo's death.

The college president Kathleen McCartney and Dean of the College and Vice President for Campus Life Donna Lisker have met with Collazo's family, according to the campus.

A fund drive on GoFundMe.com has been set up in her memory, seeking to raise $10,000 to help her family with funeral expenses. By Saturday night, it had raised $3,145.
