A shrine of flowers and handwritten cards has been set up near the site where Caroline Esmailpour, 21, was found unconscious Sunday evening on the football practice field next to State University Drive West.

Esmailpour, of Newbury Park, was in-line skating when she collapsed between 7:45 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. She passed away Monday at the UC Davis Medical Center.

A cause of death has not been determined, said investigator John Hamrick of the CSUS Police. The Sacramento County coroner's office said a toxicology report has been requested. The report will take four to six weeks to complete.

Since she was a resident of Sierra Hall, grief counseling has been set up for dorm residents, said Associate Vice President for Student Affairs David Braverman.

"Anytime there is a crisis on campus involving the students, we try to provide counseling," he said.

The CSUS police department is seeking witnesses in the case. Information can be left with Hamrick at 278-6851.
