UNC to mark 2nd anniversary of student's death

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Students at UNC Chapel Hill will mark the second anniversary of the death of Faith Hedgepeth with a moment of silence.

WRAL-TV reports that students will hold the moment of silence at noon Monday outside the student union.

Hedgepeth was 19 years old when her roommate found her body in their off-campus apartment Sept. 7, 2012. An autopsy report released last week said Hedgepeth died from a severe beating to her head.

The autopsy said Hedgepeth suffered extensive skull fractures and cuts to her face and head, and she was also badly beaten on her arms and legs.

The document was among hundreds of pages of notes, search warrants and court orders unsealed in an effort by Chapel Hill police to generate new leads in the unsolved murder investigation.
