Her roommate, who was away over the weekend, noticed something was not okay, and when she returned and found the door locked, she alerted the security guards.
This is after she had severally knocked at the door leading to their room but had not received any response.

Plans are already underway to have a postmortem conducted on the body, which is part and parcel of the ongoing probe.
