'Devastated': UVA rocked by lacrosse death, arrest
Police have arrested 22-year-old UVA men's lacrosse player George Huguely and charged him with first degree murder in the death of Yeardley Love, a fellow UVA fourth year and a member of the women's lacrosse team. Love was discovered in her apartment at 222 14th Street on May 3 at around 2:15am by one of her two roommates, who called 911.
Speaking at a press conference Monday afternoon, Police Chief Tim Longo says that while emergency responders initially believed they would be dealing with an alcohol overdose, upon arrival they realized the situation was more serious.
There was "obvious" trauma to Love's body, Longo says, and efforts to revive her failed. Longo says he doesn't believe a weapon was involved, and says a cause of death will be determined following an autopsy.
