Auburn student from Roswell found dead
Foul play is not suspected in the death of a 20-year-old Auburn student from Roswell found dead Saturday night in an off-campus townhouse, the Lee County (Ala.) coroner said in a statement.
Jessica Lynn Foshee's boyfriend last saw her alive Saturday around 5 p.m. when he left their DeKalb Street residence. He told Auburn police he returned around 10 p.m. to find Foshee unresponsive, coroner Bill Harris said. She was pronounced dead on the scene around 10:22 p.m.
Foshee "is known to have some medical issues and there were no signs of trauma or foul play," Harris said. An exact cause of death will be determined by the state medical examiner's office in Montgomery.
The case remains open, according to the coroner.
