That was my thought.
Ok, there's this article now with a name released and it's not a Jenny
NBC San Diego
Quote:
SAN DIEGO -- Police are investigating the death of a San Diego State University student.
Shirley Poliakoff, 19, was found dead Sunday morning in her bedroom. Detectives said her brother discovered her body in her off-campus apartment in the 5500 block of Montezuma Road.
Campus police said Poliakoff came home late Saturday night with friends after attending several social events.
Residents in the area said they are shocked by Poliakoff's death.
"It's surprising that you could be so young," SDSU student Cayla Awalt said. "I feel bad for her brother, who walked in on her. That's horrible."
Medical examiner's Investigators said the cause of death has not been determined, but alcohol may have been a factor.
Foul play is not suspected, police said.

So, were there two deaths or was the OP just wrong?
ETA: And on an unrelated note, at what point will female college students stop being called co-eds? It's a stupid name.

The Alpha Phi website lists the only "Poliakoff" as Jenny. Maybe Shirley is her legal name, and she goes by Jenny (middle name or something)? Or it could be her biological sister who just joined and hasn't been added yet.

Or possibly not an Alpha Phi? She could be a sister of Jenny or whatever.
*shrug* I'm not really digging around their website so whatever.
If this was greek related, I'm going to say that SDSU loses their entire Greek system like... tomorrow.

I'd guess that she goes by Jenny. (Perhaps she was named after a relative or something, and goes by her middle name.) Note - this is just my guess and not a statement of fact in any way shape or form.
Shirley would certainly be a far less common name for a 19 year old girl than Jenny though, that's for sure.
How sad that her brother is the one who found her - it would still be sad for him to lose his sister either way, of course, but to find her in that condition would be awful.

Does the victim's name need to be removed at this point? I'm not sure what the status of this story is, is this information available to the general public? Has her family been informed?
If those two things have happened, I don't see what purpose would be served in deleting the name from this thread. If not, it shouldn't be here.
Does anyone know?

The story has broken, and the name has been released.

I just think that Jenny is rare. I've known tons of Jens and Jennifers, but very few Jennys (at least since leaving grade school). I think that since she supposedly went by Jenny and not Jennifer makes it much less common. Maybe it's different in other parts of the country though, since moving here two months ago, I've met two Jennys, but besides that I've only known one other in my life that I can think of.
Regardless, I think that until the story broke, her name shouldn't have been released.

Yeah, it's only on the San Diego news, but it is public information now.
