ST. LOUIS — Washington University is mourning the death of a student.

Authorities say there were no apparent signs of foul play. The medical examiner will determine the cause of death.

Barry was from the Chicago area. Her age was not released.

The university is offering counseling for students, faculty and staff who request it.
