Police arrived at The Arch apartments at approximately 9:17 a.m. Saturday and discovered Alaysia Rag’uel Pierre-Louis deceased inside the residence.

Troy Police Chief Randall Barr said Monday that Pierre-Louis’s body was taken to the Alabama Department of Forensic Science for autopsy.
“Preliminary results indicate that Ms. Pierre-Louis’s death was the result of a pre-existing medical condition and therefore ruled as death by natural causes,” Barr said.
She was a former student at Troy University, he said.
