Annelle Fitzpatrick, Class of 2000--a member of the 1996-97 women's lacrosse team, a resident of Leverett House and a former student government president at Manhattan's Trinity School--died Jan. 2, 1998 in New York City. She was 19 years old.
Investigators termed Fitzpatrick's death an apparent suicide. She was struck by a northbound subway train in midtown Manhattan at night.
At the time of her death, friends remembered the New York native as a leader among her peers and a dynamic, friendly presence in their classes.
Long-time friend and Trinity classmate Julie A. Turner said Fitzpatrick was "hands-down everyone's favorite."
"She was a wonderful, bright, giggly person," Turner said. "She was the perfect combination of brains and athleticism."
In addition to serving as the popularly elected student senate president at Trinity, Fitzpatrick was a league-wide lacrosse star and was involved in community service.
"She was an amazing athlete, very smart, very well-rounded," said Benjamin A. Stingle '00, another Trinity classmate who was interviewed after Fitzpatrick's death.
Fitzpatrick had taken a voluntary leave of absence from Harvard beginning in November 1997 and had planned to return in the spring semester of 1998.
