Eastern Iowa native dies in Illinois classroom

September 28, 2011 By Radio Iowa Contributor

Students and colleagues in East Moline, Illinois, are mourning the loss of an elementary school teacher. A custodian found the body of 25-year-old Sarah Knight in her kindergarten classroom Monday night.

Police do not suspect foul play. The results of an autopsy conducted Tuesday were inconclusive, but authorities may know more in the next two weeks when toxicology tests are completed. A school administrator says Knight, who was raised in the Cedar Rapids-Marion area, loved her students and loved to teach.

The former Linn-Mar High School soccer player was bi-lingual and most of her students were Hispanic.
