Mississippi State University student Leona Viola Prisock was found dead in her home Sunday afternoon.
Oktibbeha County Coroner Michael Hunt said the body was found at 2:30 p.m. and a cause of death could not be determined.
MSU Chief Communications Officer Sid Salter said Prisock was found unresponsive at 105 Hemlock Rd.
Salter confirmed she was a 21-year-old geosciences major and said the university’s thoughts go out to her family and friends.
“Until the report is done with the coroner, I don’t have any more information,” Salter said.
More information may be revealed after the completion of the autopsy in Jackson.
