The death of a Princeton University student who went missing in October has officially been ruled a suicide.
Misrach Ewunetie was last seen on October 14, near her dormitory. Her body was found a week later on the edge of campus after an extensive search.
At the time, her death, which made national news, confounded her friends and family.
An autopsy has determined that the 20-year-old died from a combination of prescription drugs. According to a press release from the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office, the cause of death was "Bupropion, Escitalopram and Hydroxyzine Toxicity."
In a letter to the campus community, Princeton Vice President for Campus Life Rochelle Calhoun spoke about the devastating incident. "Misrach's death is an unthinkable tragedy," she wrote. "Our hearts go out to her family, her friends and the many others who knew and loved her."
