IU junior found dead in apartment

The “suspicious” death of an IU student who was found dead early Thursday morning is being investigated by the Bloomington Police Department and the Monroe County Coroner’s Office. \nJunior Jeremy Kritzman, 21, was found dead in his apartment, located in the 200 block of North Walnut Street, after BPD responded to an emergency call at about 1 a.m. Thursday, BPD Sgt. Jeff Canada said, reading from a police report. Kritzman’s friends pried open his apartment door after they had not heard from him in a couple of days, Canada said.\nWhen officers located Kritzman, he appeared to have been dead for several hours, Canada said. After investigating, officers located “a little bit of white residue” in Kritzman’s apartment that was sent to a lab for analysis, Canada said.\nMonroe County Coroner David Toumey said Kritzman had “probably been dead for some hours” by the time officers found him in his apartment.\n“It’s an obviously suspicious death,” Toumey said. “I don’t think it’s a natural death.”\nThe Terre Haute Regional Hospital will perform an autopsy Friday morning, Toumey said. The toxicology reports will not be available for another four to six weeks, he said.
