Christine Chen, 22, was found dead in her dorm on the music schoolโ€™s Mt. Vernon dorm room on Sunday. A cause of death has not been determined. Foul play is not suspected, as the university said officials are working with police โ€œas a matter of standard practice.โ€

A native of Taiwan, Chen played recorder, and was studying in Peabodyโ€™s Early Music Department. She recently performed a recital in her hometown of Kao-Hsiung, Taiwan.

โ€œShe is remembered for her kindness, her enthusiasm, and her ready smile,โ€ Peabody Dean Fred Bronstein told the JHU Hub.
