Mercer County, N.J. prosecutors announced on Dec. 28 that Misrach Ewunetie, a 20-year-old Princeton University student who went missing for several days before being found on the campus grounds, died by suicide.

A statement from the Mercer County Prosecutor’s office said the Middlesex Regional Medical Examiner’s office determined her death to be a suicide due to “bupropion, escitalopram and hydroxyzine toxicity.”

Rochelle Calhoun, vice president for campus life at Princeton, said in a statement, “Our hearts go to Misrach’s family and friends, and to the wider campus community that has been shaken by this tragedy. Losing a member of our community is always difficult. The long wait for definitive news about what led to her death has been challenging for all of us, and especially for those close to Misrach.”

Ewunetie was last seen around 3 a.m. on Oct. 14 near a residential building. The next day, her family became concerned after Ewunetie missed a meeting regarding her citizenship. Ewunetie’s family is originally from Ethiopia, and she was raised in Euclid, Ohio. Six days later, she was found dead on the Princeton facilities grounds, behind the tennis courts

The university conducted an extensive search, which included helicopters and drones. After her body was found, prosecutors said there were no initial findings of foul play. However, her brother, Universe Ewunetie, told The Sun that his sister’s body was discovered in an area that wasn’t easily accessible.

“The area she was found makes us feel it was suspicious, some trees had to be cut when they were removing Misrach,” he said. “Everyone thinks it's over with, and they released that statement before doing any autopsy and without telling us.”

Ewunetie was a high school valedictorian studying sociology and computer science at Princeton and had no known health problems, according to her brother. She was expected to graduate from Princeton in 2024.

Her family has not released a public statement since the cause of death was made public.
