Local police yesterday confirmed the identity of a body found on Dongchuan Road in Minhang district on Saturday as a student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

The young woman was found dead by local residents over the weekend in the bushes by Hengbinjing River, very close to the Minhang campus of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Minhang district police said that the woman was a 21-year-old student surnamed Zhang from Shandong Province, who was majoring in Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering at the university.

According to police, Zhang died as a result of choking on her own vomit. Police ruled out homicide, and said that Zhang had consumed alcohol before she died.
Zhu Ming, a spokesperson for the university, confirmed to the Global Times yesterday that Zhang was a student of theirs, and said that the school is cooperating with police in their investigation.
