Brianna Aguilera: Death ruled suicide by medical examiner

  • Travis County Medical Examiner ruled Brianna Aguilera's death a suicide after she fell 17 stories from the 21 Rio Apartment Complex in Austin's West Campus on Nov. 29.
  • APD said there was no indication another person was involved and that evidence pointed away from criminal activity, with the medical examiner's report relying on APD's investigation, aligning with their findings.
  • Officers responded to 2101 Rio Grande Street at 12:47 a.m., found an unresponsive adult female, and she was pronounced dead at 12:57 a.m., the deputy medical examiner said blunt trauma caused the death.
  • Aguilera's parents filed a wrongful-death lawsuit on January 5, 2026 seeking at least $1,000,000, alleging she was served alcohol while underage at a tailgate before the Texas vs Texas A&M game.
  • The family's lawyers say the medical examiner's conclusion rests on shoddy police work, the lawsuit seeks testimony and records as the Travis County Medical Examiner's full report is expected Friday and APD says the investigation remains open until closed.
