June 27, 2008 An autopsy has determined that a 19-year-old Naval Academy student found unconscious in her dormitory room last month died of cardiac arrhythmia, or an abnormal beating of the heart, the state medical examiner's office said yesterday.
Kristen Dickmann of Kennett Square, Pa., was found lying in her bed and not breathing May 5. She was pronounced dead that afternoon.
"The manner of death is natural," Dr. Ana Rubio, an assistant state medical examiner, said yesterday.
Dickmann, a first-year student who played volleyball at the academy, was studying to be a Navy pilot, her parents said.
