Former Boilermaker track and field and women's basketball star Corissa Yasen died of a suicidal drug overdose, toxicology reports revealed early this week.

According to the Spokesman-Review in Spokane, Wash., further autopsy studies into Yasen's mysterious May 12 death revealed a lethal combination of prescription-only drugs in Yasen's system, including muscle relaxers, anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs and narcotic pain-killers.

Yasen's body was found in her Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, home on May 12 by her father, Don Yasen, who had been alerted to a problem after his daughter hadn't shown up for work for two days. The 27-year-old Yasen had been working as a pharmacist in her hometown after earning her degree in pharmacy from Purdue.

According to the Spokesman-Review, investigators found "substantial quantities" of narcotics and drugs in Yasen's home.

She had been scheduled to appear in court on the morning of May 11, regarding a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Yasen, perhaps Purdue's greatest female athlete ever, was a nine-time All-American and a 10-time Big Ten Champion for Purdue's women's track and field team. In 1996, she was the NCAA's Outdoor National Champion in the hepthathlon.

After she concluded her track and field career in West Lafayette, Yasen walked on to the women's basketball team for one season and helped lead Coach Nell Fortner's team to an improbable share of the Big Ten title in 1997. The team's starting small forward, the 6-0 Yasen averaged 11.4 points and 6.2 rebounds en route to earning honorable mention all-league acclaim.

Her performance that season was good enough to earn her a brief career in the WNBA, where she played sparingly for two non-descript seasons for the Sacramento Monarchs.

Yasen was engaged to former Purdue wrestler Shane Hanson.
