CHADRON, Neb. (AP) — Dawes County authorities say the death of a 19-year-old Chadron State College student was a result of suicide.

The body of Fatima Larios, of Seaside, California, was found in a campus residence hall around 2:30 a.m. on Jan. 31. Acting as county coroner, Dawes County Attorney Vance Haug says evidence and autopsy results show that Larios died of asphyxia because of hanging.

Larios was a high school softball standout who played last year as a freshman at NCAA Division 1 Austin Peay before transferring to Chadron State last summer.
