Officials are still in the dark about what caused the death of a 21-year-old Syracuse University student who was found dead in a hotel in Midtown this weekend.

Queens native Sabrina Cammock was found inside her room at the Hotel Edison on W. 47th Street around 9:20 a.m. on Saturday. Authorities say she was unconscious and unresponsive, and was declared dead at the scene.

Cammock, a member of the Syracuse University Women's Track and Field team, was sharing a room with a group of girlfriends when she died. The group had all gone out the night before, but there were no signs of trauma on her body, and no drugs found in the room to suggest an overdose.

An autopsy was performed yesterday, but the results were inconclusive. "Further tests are pending to determine the cause and manner of death," said Julie Bolcer, a spokeswoman for the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner. "The death is still under investigation."

Cammock had been studying public health at Syracuse’s David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics. "She was serious about her education, she didn't play around, and everyone loved her for that," a relative, Kemor Brown, told ABC, adding that she was the oldest of four and had two brothers and a baby sister.

"It is a painful time for our entire campus community whenever we are faced with a tragedy such as this," Syracuse Dean of Student Affairs Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz wrote in a letter to students, faculty and staff. "We mourn as a campus community with all those whose lives Sabrina touched."
