The autopsy of an SIUC student who was found dead Sunday in his Abbott Hall dorm room was conducted at 6:30 p.m. Monday night, but the cause of death was still unknown Tuesday evening.

"We're still waiting on results from the lab," said Howard Anderson, Jackson County deputy coroner. "We don't have an idea of how long it's going to take."

Pieter Badenhorst, 23, was a senior in plant biology at the time of his death. Police are not commenting on the cause of death at this time, but Lt. Todd Sigler said Monday that "there's no reason to believe a crime has occurred."
