Syracuse University student found dead in Clarendon Street home

A Syracuse University student was found dead in her home Saturday afternoon, said Sgt. Tom Connellan of the Syracuse Police Department.

The student, Lisa Crowley, 21, was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have ruled Crowley’s death a suicide. Connellan declined to provide further details.

Police responded to the call at 560 Clarendon St., arriving at about 2 p.m. Saturday, after receiving a report of an unconscious person, Connellan said.

Crowley, of Fountain Valley, Calif., was a senior in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management.

SU Chancellor Nancy Cantor notified the university community of Crowley’s death in an e-mail Saturday afternoon. The university will arrange support and counseling services, Cantor said in the e-mail.



A memorial service hasn’t been set yet for Crowley, said Thomas Wolfe, senior vice president and dean of student affairs.
