A university student has committed suicide days after alleging she was raped by a Notre Dame athlete.
Elizabeth Seeburg (pictured right) was just a few weeks into her freshman year at Saint Mary’s College in Indiana when she took her own life.
The 19-year-old from Chicago had battled depression and was found unconscious in her dorm room having taken an overdose of prescription medication.
