Medical Examiners: More Tests Needed To Determine Cause Of Syracuse Sprinter's Death

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Medical examiners say more tests are needed to determine the cause of death of a Syracuse University sprinter found in a Times Square hotel room during spring break.

An autopsy of Sabrina Cammock was conducted Sunday, but medical examiner spokeswoman Julie Bolcer said further studies are to be done.

The 21-year-old was found around 9:20 a.m. Saturday in a room at the Hotel Edison. Police said there were no signs of criminality.

Raised in Queens, Cammock was studying public health at Syracuse's David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics.

Cammock had run track there for four years, specializing in sprinting. She competed as recently as last week when she ran in the women's 4x400 relay team at the 2015 ACC Indoor Championships at Virginia Tech, according to Syracuse's sports website.

"Sabrina was a wonderful and remarkable person and student-athlete," Syracuse University's head coach of track and field, Chris Fox, said in a statement. "Our team and coaching staff are devastated by her loss. All of our thoughts are with Sabrina's family and friends."

Cammock won a Syracuse scholar-athlete of the week award last April. She was also named to the 2012-13 Big East conference All-Academic Team.

The Daily News reported Cammock and a group of friends were sharing a room at the hotel following a night of celebrating.
