Kentucky student, 21, stops breathing for 23 minutes and is found on dorm room floor with cuts, bruises and acrylic nails ripped off - but police have NO idea what happened to her

A student in Kentucky who was found on her dorm room floor with deep cuts and bruises had stopped breathing for 23 minutes - but the police remain unsure about what caused her injuries. 

Isabella Willingham, 21, was found unresponsive in her room at Asbury University on November 27 and she was rushed to hospital where she was placed in intensive care.

Paramedics told her parents she stopped breathing, suffered deep gashes, swollen legs and had her acrylic nails ripped off.

The Jessamine County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Isabella had multiple injuries, cuts, and bruises but allegedly told her parents she likely got hurt from falling out of her bunk bed. 

It has been months since an investigation into the incident began and her parents still have not learnt anything new about what happened that night.

Her father Andy Willingham did not believe the explanation provided by authorities and told Lex18: 'There's no way these could've been caused by anything other than someone doing something to her.' 

Isabella's family did not hear from her for hours after she returned to campus after Thanksgiving and they received a worrying phone call.

'At 11 that night, we get a call from the resident director of her dorm, and she tells us that Bella is in an ambulance on her way to the emergency room, that she had been found unresponsive on the floor of her room by her roommate,' Andy said.

The student spent two weeks recovering at the University of Kentucky hospital while her father waited for Asbury to notify the student body of the potential threat.

However, he claims an email was not sent out until more than a week after the incident. 

'As a parent, I want to know if there's a possibility of someone coming into the school or campus being potentially dangerous,' he added. 

Asbury University issued a statement in December which said they were aware about the incident involving Isabella but they did not think there was a threat to campus.

But Andy is disappointed that students weren't asked to come forward with information. 

He claimed an email probing for tips was sent to girls in his daughter's dorm but not the entire student body. 

'I contacted them and said this is not okay, you have to give a detail so if someone knows something, they'll come forward, and the school's response to me was that we felt like they had done everything they could do,' Andy said. 

A spokesman for Asbury University said: 'This matter is part of an ongoing investigation by the appropriate authorities and with the University’s full cooperation. 

'We are unable to provide any updates or specific information at this time. Asbury’s priority remains the safety and wellbeing of its students, faculty, and staff.'
