Hundreds of mourners gathered Monday night to grieve for a teen who was found dead in her apartment over the weekend.

Police are investigating the death of Shirley Jennifer Poliakoff, a San Diego State University student and sister of Alpha Phi who was found dead over the weekend. Shirley Jennifer Poliakoff, known as Jenny, was found dead Sunday morning in her bedroom.

Detectives said her brother discovered her body in her off-campus apartment. A memorial service for Poliakoff was held Monday.

Campus police said Poliakoff, 19, came home late Saturday night with friends after attending several social events. Residents in the area said they are shocked by Poliakoff's death.

Foul play is not suspected, police said. Poliakoff's parents live in Poway. They said they will never have the perfect answer to the question of how she died, but they said they had the perfect daughter and hope her death will be a reminder to hold your loved ones close.
