Friends and family buried a U-T-C student this afternoon who died a tragic death earlier this week.
The Red Bank Police says 21-year-old Cassie Clements died early Monday morning after she pulled her car into the garage and continued to talk on her cell phone with the engine running.
Reports say she died from Carbon Monoxide poisoning, but officials are waiting for the toxicology report to see what, if anything, may have influenced her decision to remain in the car.
Clements was pursuing a double-major in education and nursing at UTC.
She was a member of Chi Omega sorority.
The School says they are staying close by the Chi-O house and the classroom to help students through this difficult time.
The visitation was last night, with lines wrapping around the building.
