FORT COLLINS - A college-age woman was found dead in a rarely used storage room on the second floor of the Sigma Pi fraternity house Sunday evening, sparking a police investigation and shock among members of the fraternity at Colorado State University.
Fort Collins police said the woman was fully clothed and there were no obvious signs of trauma to her body or of foul play.
Fort Collins police officer Gary Shaklee said there were no obvious signs of drug or alcohol use near the body, either, but police are calling the death suspicious.
Shaklee said a fraternity member who doesn't live in the house found the body about 6:20 p.m. in the room, which has a few couches in it.
Police believe the woman had been dead at least 12 hours, making it likely that she had been in the house since the previous evening.
No house party was held at the house Saturday night because many of the fraternity members attended the University of Colorado-CSU game in Boulder or gathered with friends to watch it, Shaklee said.
At 8:30 p.m., police were still waiting for a search warrant, but already had sealed off the room, in the rear of the red brick, colonial-style building with white columns. Fraternity members allowed police to begin examining the scene before they received the warrant, Shaklee said.
Less than three hours after the body was found, three young women, visibly shaking and crying, sought information from police about their roommate. She was missing, they said, and was last seen at the Sigma Pi house Saturday night. They said the woman is a CSU student but not a member of a sorority.
Police said they have a good idea about the woman's identity but had not yet confirmed it.
