MONROE, Mich. (AP) — Hundreds of people have attended two
candlelight vigils for an Eastern Michigan University student whose
death is being investigated for possible foul play.
The Monroe
Evening News and WWJ-AM report that about 200 people gathered in
23-year-old Julia Niswender’s hometown of Monroe Friday evening.
AnnArbor.com and WXYZ-TV report a similar number attended a
student-organized vigil on Eastern Michigan’s campus in Ypsilanti.
Friends and family members recalled her infectious smile and positive, persistent
attitude.
Niswender’s
body was found Tuesday in her off-campus apartment bedroom. An autopsy
was performed, but police say the cause of death is pending until more
tests are finished.
Investigators were treating the case as a homicide.
A memorial service is 11 a.m. Monday at Redeemer Fellowship Church in Monroe.
