US EditionTexas A&M Student Dies Hours After Attending Tailgate for Football Game; Mother Questions Investigation
Austin police suspect suicide after Brianna Aguilera fell from the 17th floor, but her family disputes this and has raised over $31,000 for an independent investigation.
- On November 28, a Texas A&M student attended the UT vs. Texas A&M tailgate and was later found dead outside 21 Rio Apartments, with Austin Police Department saying she fell from the 17th floor and believes it was a suicide.
- Stephanie Rodriguez says her daughter was not suicidal and was planning a law career, adding she received inconsistent answers from Austin Police Department while Aguilera's phone kept pinging in Austin after officers told her to wait 24 hours to file a missing-persons report.
- Officers who responded around 12:50 a.m. Saturday found a woman unresponsive and pronounced her dead minutes later; Brianna Aguilera's body was located about 1 a.m. with her phone recovered later the same day, and Rodriguez says morgue notification came at 4 p.m.
