A Drexel University freshman was found dead in her dorm room Saturday morning, according to the student newspaper The Triangle. Police say there is no evidence of foul play.

The death of Taline King, 18, was confirmed in an email sent to the university community by president John A. Fry, which expressed condolences to King's family and encouraged her friends to utilize the university's counseling services.

According to The Daily Pennsylvanian, residents of the Myers Hall dorm room where King lived were informed of her death around 4 p.m. Saturday. 

King was reported missing back in 2011 while living in Moorestown, New Jersey. NBC 10's original story about her disappearance claims she required medication for medical issues at the time. 

The Daily Pennsylvanian cites a report from The Central Record, a South Jersey publication, that claims her disappearance occurred because she left after a disagreement with her parents.
