APRIL 30, 2001
Contact Information
Julie M. Carpenter of Houston, Texas, a sophomore majoring in chemical
engineering, was found
dead in her dormitory room early Monday morning.
The Middlesex County Medical Examiner was scheduled to perform an autopsy
to determine the cause
of death. There were no signs of foul play, according to MIT Campus Police.
Ms. Carpenter, 20, was a member of Alpha Chi Sigma, the professional
chemical society for students.
A graduate of Stratford High School in Houston, she was an accomplished
student and a talented
musician who entertained nursing home residents with violin performances
when she was in middle
school.
Ms. Carpenter attended a birthday party Sunday evening on the Random Hall
dormitory roof deck,
during which only soft drinks were served.
The dormitory's housemaster called Campus Police at about 2:30am Monday
after Ms. Carpenter's
roommate found her on the floor of her room. Campus police officers said
Ms. Carpenter was dead
when they arrived.
