KNOXVILLE-The University of Tennessee freshman found dead in her dorm room Monday morning had Cocke County ties.
Katherine Brianna "Breezy" Bilbrey, 19, was reportedly discovered by her roommate midmorning after Bilbrey's alarm went off, and she did not turn it off. The roommate then checked on Bilbrey, found her unresponsive, and then reported the situation to her resident assistant.
The students were living in Morrill Hall.
Bilbrey was the daughter of David and Kathy Bilbrey of Knoxville. Her mother is the former Kathy Denton of Newport and is the daughter of Louise Denton, Newport, and the late Warren Denton.
Other local relatives include Bilbrey's uncle and aunt, Tommy and Terri Denton, and first cousins Johnny and Brandon Denton.
Knoxville and UT police officers termed Bilbrey's death as from "natural causes." Her body was sent to the regional forensic center in Knoxville for further examination.
Bilbrey, a 2009 graduate of Central High School, worked as a hostess at P. J. Chang's and was looking forward to returning to her summer job as a lifeguard.
