Cruise's truck was in a parking lot across the street from where a Halloween party hosted by three Newman University student baseball players had been held Saturday night, although she wasn't a student at the school.

According to a statement released by Newman University, "Newman University officials have temporarily suspended three baseball student-athletes from sports activities while the school awaits more information" about the ongoing investigation. The statement, which clarifies that the suspended students will still be able to attend class, also states that the university will be conducting a review of the incident.

A cause of death has not been determined and no arrests have been made in the case. An autopsy is scheduled for sometime on Monday.
