Misrach Ewunetie’s cause of death has finally been revealed.

If you don’t remember, the Princeton University student was first alleged to be missing back in October, after being seen last during an on-campus volunteer program. Three days after her last sighting, the prestigious school officially declared the 20-year-old as missing. Two days after that, with the aid of helicopters, drones, and watercraft search units, as well as bloodhounds, Misrach was tragically found dead behind the Ivy League university’s tennis courts, near Lake Carnegie on October 20.

At the time, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office noted:

However, an exact cause of death was not determined. Now, more details have emerged.

According to the Middlesex Regional Medical Examiner’s Office, a lethal combination of antidepressants and antihistamine was found in her system. The Prosecutor’s Office revealed in a Wednesday press release:

The Medical Examiner further ruled the late student unfortunately died by suicide.

This all comes after the college Junior’s family felt they were being “kept in the dark” by authorities during the investigation. Misrach’s brother, Universe Ewunetie, told CNN at the time:

Law enforcement apparently told the distraught family the case would take time, for which Universe noted:

He later referred to his sister in an interview with NY-4 as, “a sweet soul,” adding:
