No Conclusions Yet in Autopsy of Syracuse Sprinter Found Dead in NYC Hotel

An autopsy was performed Sunday on a member of the Syracuse University women's track and field team who was found dead a day earlier in a Times Square hotel, according to the medical examiner's office.

Further studies will need to be done to determine the cause of death of Sabrina Cammock, said office spokeswoman Julie Bolcer.

Cammock, a 21-year-old senior from Queens, was discovered unconscious at about 9:20 a.m. Saturday in a bed at the Edison Hotel on West 47th Street, police said. EMS responders pronounced her dead at the scene.

There were no signs of trauma, investigators said.

Cammock was a sprinter on the track team and majoring in public health, said Syracuse Dean of Student Affairs Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz.

"It is a painful time for our entire campus community whenever we are faced with a tragedy such as this," she wrote in a letter to students, faculty and staff. "We mourn as a campus community with all those whose lives Sabrina touched."

Spring break at the university officially began on Sunday. Classes resume on March 16.
