Family holds funeral for Purdue student

From Staff Reports

Funeral services will be held on Friday for a Purdue student that was found dead in her West Lafayette apartment on Monday.

The West Lafayette Police Department found Laura M. Williams, 21, of 434 N. Grant St. Apt. 1, dead in her bedroom at 11:35 a.m. Monday.

On Monday, Williams' roommates became concerned and called police because they could not contact her through her locked bedroom door.

Williams' roommates last saw her late Sunday afternoon after she said she did not feel well and was going to her bedroom to rest.

Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday at Edmonds & Evans Funeral Home at 517 Broadway in Chesterton, Ind.

The visitation will be held from 2 to 8 p.m. on Thursday at Edmonds & Evans Funeral Home, with a rosary service at 6:30 p.m.

Tippecanoe County coroner Martin Avolt said the death is still being investigated after he completed an autopsy and toxicology report on Williams on Tuesday. Avolt said he had no comment on the cause of death; however, further information will be released in 10 days to two weeks, once the results of the toxicology report are available.
