According to MSUPD, Hopkinson was found unresponsive on Sept. 28 at 6 p.m. and did not appear to be breathing after taking a nap.
MSUPD Capt. Doug Monette said Hopkinson was found in a residence hall.
Emergency personnel transported her from the residence hall to Sparrow Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Hopkinson had a previous medical condition, but her exact cause of death has yet to be determined, an MSUPD press release said. An autopsy has been ordered and toxicology results will take several weeks to be completed.
Monette said the toxicology results will be reported to the prosecutor's office.
MSUPD will continue conducting an ongoing investigation into the incident.
"Out of respect for the student's family and their privacy, MSU is not releasing more details," the press release said.
