A 27-year-old woman and recent college graduate was found beaten and strangled in her Philadelphia apartment, police said.

The building's property manager discovered the body of Jasmine Wright, who is from the Bronx, on Thursday afternoon after her father called, concerned he hadn't heard from Wright recently, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Wright graduated last month from Drexel University, earning a graduate degree in environmental and occupational health, the school confirmed.

"She was sweet and beautiful," Harry Harris, whose brother worked in the building, told The Inquirer.

Her apartment showed no signs of forced entry or robbery and she was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:35 p.m., according to NBC Philadelphia.

Neighbors said she lived a quiet life and had no roommates.

Wright attended high school in Richmond, Va. before getting an undergraduate degree in biobehavioral health from Penn State in 2011, according to her Facebook page.
