The body of a student was discovered around 3 p.m. today inside a dorm room at Palmer Hall at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, a university spokesman confirmed.

Authorities are awaiting a positive identification of the dead person, the spokesman said.

There were no signs of struggle or foul play, he said.

The death is only considered "suspicious" because it was unattended, Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said tonight.

Students who reside at Palmer Hall were moved to Jacobus Hall, a university official said.
