PRINCETON -- The death of a Princeton University student found in her dorm room last month has been ruled a suicide, authorities said Wednesday.

Audrey Dantzlerward, 22, was found dead in her room at Edwards Hall Jan. 12. No foul play was suspected in her death, but the cause and manner of her death was pending toxicology tests.

Those tests revealed that Dantzlerward took a lethal dose of over-the-counter sleeping pills, according to Casey DeBlasio, spokeswoman for the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office.

Dantzlerward, a junior at the university, was a member of the Wildcats a cappella group, Princeton Women's Mentorship Program, Princeton Presbyterians, and Edwards Collective, a residential community that celebrates the humanities and creative arts, the university has said.
