Her death remains under investigation, though foul play is not suspected.

Cai was a doctoral student in the Mutual Understanding Lab of the Psychological and Brain Sciences Department, according to the school’s website.

She was described as as “an exceptionally gifted and humble researcher” who “loved cats so much that she would sneak images of them into every poster or presentation,” according to an email sent to the school community by Dean of the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies Jon Kull.

Kristian Droste, Cai’s partner, told The Dartmouth she had admitted herself to the school’s health service facility for a “mental health crisis” last week and was transferred to the university’s hospital. She was released the day she was last seen.
