Police Investigate 2 Student Deaths In Ithaca

Police are investigating the separate deaths of two college students over the weekend in Ithaca, NY.

Cornell sophomore George Desdunes, 19, was found unresponsive in his fraternity house Friday and died later that day. According to the Cornell Daily Sun, alcohol may have been a factor in his death.

Ithaca College freshman Victoria Cheng, 17, was discovered deceased in the snow behind her house, the Associated Press reports. Police do not suspect foul play in her death.

Students at both campuses gathered over the weekend to remember the students. Desdunes, a biology and society major, was described as "remarkably friendly" and spiritual. Cheng was remembered for her intellect and sense of humor.
