PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) — Authorities say the death of a Princeton University student from Ohio whose disappearance near the New Jersey campus last fall drew national attention has been ruled a suicide.
The Mercer County prosecutor’s office announced the ruling Wednesday in the death of 20-year-old Misrach Ewunetie following completion of an autopsy by the Middlesex regional medical examiner’s office. Authorities said her body was found Oct. 20 by an employee behind tennis courts on the campus facilities grounds.

Prosecutors said at the time that the death did not appear “suspicious or criminal in nature.” An extensive search had been launched after Ewunetie was reported missing almost a week earlier.
