Hamden police say the death of a Quinnipiac student in an off-campus home does not appear to be the result of foul play.

In an email to the Quinnipiac community, the university identified the student as 20-year-old Cristian Caamano, of Manhasset, New York. He was a fourth-year entrepreneurship student in the School of Business, Quinnipiac said.
