Officials confirmed Friday that Eastern Michigan University student Julia Niswender was asphyxiated and then placed into the bathtub where she drowned last December in her off-campus apartment in Ypsilanti.
"We do know she was asphyxiated prior to being placed in the tub," said Ypsilanti Detective Joe Yuhas.
Yuhas said police believe Niswender was still alive at that point, but are uncertain if she was unconscious.
"She was not deceased (beforehand,") Yuhas said. "It's never been determined (if she was unconscious.) But, she was definitely asphyxiated and then drowned."
