According to court records obtained by the Wisconsin State Journal, Sarah Stellner's 17-year-old roommate injected her with heroin hours before she was found dead in her apartment Tuesday morning.
Morgan Fenick told police she had used heroin early Tuesday morning and also injected it in Stellner, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
Police discovered Stellner pulseless and not breathing at 9 a.m. in her residence at 211 Langdon St.
Dane County Deputy Coroner Jeff Scholts would not speculate to the Wisconsin State Journal if heroin caused her death, and said toxicology reports to determine the cause of death could take up to two months to complete.
Trauma has already been eliminated as a possible cause of death conducted Tuesday afternoon, said Dane County Coroner John Stanley.
No one has been arrested for Stellner's death.
WASHINGTON, D.C.
President Bush held a news conference Thursday evening focusing on Social Security and energy.
Bush applauded the U.S. House of Representatives for passing a good energy bill and encouraged Congress to get a bill on his desk by summer so he could sign it into law.
Bush said at the current rate Social Security would be bankrupt by 2041.
In order to solve the problem, Bush said he backs a reform proposal in which benefits for low-income workers would increase faster than for wealthier Americans. He added that would solve most of the system's funding problems.
Bush also backed setting up voluntary personal retirement accounts for the young workers of America, in which they would have the option of paying into Social Security.
\If you work hard your entire life and pay into Social Security, you will not retire into poverty,"" Bush said.
MADISON
The UW system is in search of a new chancellor to lead the state's UW-Extension schools and UW Colleges, according to a Wednesday press release. UW System President Kevin Reilly has appointed a 19-member search team, after recommending that two educational branches be united under a common Madison-based chancellor.
Reilly decided to combine the two institutions under one chancellor after a study revealed that such a collaboration equated to $1.5 million in annual savings for the university.
Formerly, Reilly served as chancellor for UW-Extension and William Messner led UW Colleges.
The committee will begin reviewing candidates for the position this spring.
