The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville community today is mourning the death of undergraduate student Tifani Wilder, who passed away Thursday in her family housing residence in Cougar Village.
The 24-year-old Wilder was found by University Police and Housing staff after a welfare call was made. The death does not appear to be suspicious but is currently under investigation by the SIUE Police Department and the Madison County Coroner’s Office.
Wilder was a junior psychology major in the SIUE School of Education. She has a five-year-old son.
Counseling services are available to students by calling 650-5666 or visiting the Counseling Health Services Office in the Student Success Center lower level adjacent to the Morris University Center. A counselor also will be available in the Cougar Village Commons Building.
Arrangements will be made available when details are finalized.
