PHOENIX — A Paradise Valley Community College professor won't face criminal charges over the death of a student who fell unconscious at his condo after a drug overdose, police said.
Phoenix police Thursday said that they have closed their investigation into the death of 19-year-old Andria Ziegler.
The Maricopa County Medical Examiner released a report Wednesday that ruled Ziegler's death an accident.
Ziegler's family said it will continue its campaign against Michael Todd, whose home their daughter was visiting when she overdosed on cocaine in April.
The two were romantically involved, school officials and family members have said.
Todd, 51, likely will be officially fired from his position at the school on Tuesday when the Maricopa Community College District board considers a recommendation to terminate the professor over his violation of the district's "amorous-relationship" regulation.

Todd declined to comment when reached at his home, and his attorney did not return a phone call Thursday.
Authorities said Ziegler died on a couch in Todd's condo in north Phoenix early in the morning on April 20.
The medical examiner's report showed no alcohol in Ziegler's system but did find a lethal dose of cocaine and metabolites consistent with the drug's use.
