A Texas A&M University student died just hours after attending a tailgate for the school’s rivalry game against the University of Texas in Austin on Friday night.
According to a statement from Austin Police Department, officers responded to a report of an unconscious person on the ground near an apartment in the 2100 block of Rio Grande Street, just west of the UT campus.

They arrived at around 12:50 a.m. Saturday and found a woman unresponsive. She was pronounced dead at the scene minutes later.
Authorities have not released information on the circumstances of her passing, but they confirmed that the situation is not being investigated as a homicide at this time. They added that there are “no indications of suspicious circumstances.”
Officials have not formally released the woman’s identity, but a GoFundMe seemed to identify her as Brianna Aguilera, an undergraduate student in the Bush School of Government and Public Service at A&M.
KPRC 2 located Aguilera’s Instagram account, and several people who believed to be her friends had posted the link to the fundraiser on their accounts.
Several student-run platforms, including the Barstool Sports affiliate account of the school, have also made posts regarding the situation.

The GoFundMe, which was started by someone named Amabelii Fernandez in Aguilera’s hometown of Laredo, Texas, has raised more than $25,000, as of this writing.
In a post on Facebook, Aguilera’s mother, Stephanie Rodriguez, questioned the authorities’ initial findings regarding her daughter’s death.
“This was not accidental,” a portion of the post read. “Someone killed my Brie and gave all the group of friends a lot of time to come up with the same story. My daughter would not jump 17 stories from a building, and to be labeling this as a suicide is insane.”
KPRC 2 contacted the Bush School for more information, and we will provide updates when we hear back.
