The manner of death in the case of former FAU freshman Isaac Nunamaker has been declared undetermined, according to the Palm Beach County medical examiner’s report obtained by the University Press.
Nunamaker’s body, discovered in his dorm room in Glades Park Tower on April 7 and identified on April 26, was found to be in “a state of moderate decomposition,” according to the report.
In the toxicology report, doctors determined that Nunamaker’s blood tested positive for Hydroxyzine, a chemical normally found in anxiety medicine, as well as ethanol. No evidence of bodily trauma was found.
“Given negative autopsy findings, the scene findings suggest drug or inhalant toxicity as the most likely cause of death,” the report said. “The manner of death is best classified as undetermined.”

How are you the managing editor? You’re absolutely terrible. All of your work sucks.
Your headline is something CNN would write. “Doctors know” is not the same as “Doctors believe”. Jesus. TRASH.
