The February death of a Truman State University student on campus has officially been ruled a suicide.

Maya Warr, second-year biology and pre-med student, died Feb. 3 in her room in Missouri Hall. Janna Stoskopf, vice president for student affairs, informed students of Warr’s death the next day in a campus-wide email.

Tuesday, Adair County Coroner Brian Noe confirmed to The Index that Warr’s death was officially ruled a suicide. Noe said the confirmation could take a couple months because his office needed to complete tests and read reports before he could officially rule the death a suicide.

In another University-wide email, Stoskopf said students can contact her with concerns. She encouraged students to seek mental health assistance, if needed, from her office or University Counseling Services.
