A 21-year-old former Columbia student was found dead of an apparent overdose inside a friend’s university dorm room today, cops said.
Jessica Fingers, a former student, left the Morningside Heights school last year and was visiting a female pal this weekend, law enforcement sources said.
She was found in the friend’s room in the East Campus residence hall at 70 Morningside Drive, and cops don’t suspect foul play.
Fingers, from Monticello, NY, was with her boyfriend and they were doing drugs, law enforcement sources said. She was found unconscious by her boyfriend and the female pal at about 11:48 a.m., police said.
