Elizabeth Mun Identified As Concord Academy Teen Who Died After Andover Party. Investigators have identified the Concord Academy student who died yesterday after being found unconscious in an icy stream after leaving a nearby house party.

Elizabeth Mun, a 16-year-old from Wellesley, was found face-down in a partially frozen Andover brook early Sunday morning after leaving an all-night party on foot. She was pronounced dead yesterday afternoon at a Boston hospital.

“She leaves behind all too early a loving family,” read a statement from the family of Elizabeth Mun of Wellesley, provided to The Associated Press.

An autopsy is scheduled to determine the cause of death, a spokesman for the Essex County district attorney’s office said. Officials declined to comment on whether drinking was involved.

Mun had participated in her school’s theater program and played on the field hockey team, according to Concord Academy’s website.

Mun left the party abruptly around 5 a.m., and partygoers told police they soon began searching for her. When they were unable to find her, they contacted police, who began a search shortly before 7 a.m.

When they found her on the far side of a pond near the home, she was given CPR but remained unresponsive, authorities said. She was treated at a Lawrence hospital before being flown by helicopter to Boston.

According to Mun’s family, the teenager enjoyed traveling with her family and had varied interests, including field hockey, lacrosse, golf, figure skating and photography. Mun hoped to follow in her mother’s footsteps and attend Brown University, the family’s statement said, according to the Associated Press.
