Amanda Marie Werkmeister. Found In Cardiac Arrest
MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- The Allegheny County medical examiner is trying to figure out what happened to a Robert Morris University student who died after being found in cardiac arrest near her apartment in Moon Township on Monday.
According to police reports, a roommate found Amanda "Mandy" Marie Werkmeister suffering cardiac arrest in the Waterford Landing apartment complex. Police and paramedics performed CPR and used an AED on Werkmeister, of Bethel Park. She was taken to Sewickley Valley Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Since the cause of death was not immediately determined and because of Werkmeister's young age, Moon police asked Allegheny County homicide detectives to help with the investigation. Police said everyone involved has cooperated fully with officers.
Investigators are waiting for word from the medical examiner's office on the exact cause of death.
Werkmeister was a 2006 graduate of Bethel Park High School. She was planning to graduate with a four-year degree in business this May. She was the 2009 homecoming queen and an active volunteer with Delta Zeta.
