The obituary for the former South Bend ballet dancer found dead in a Missouri Lake lists her death as accidental.

The autopsy results have not been released yet for Raffaella Stroik, 23, a St. Joseph High School graduate who joined the St. Louis Ballet last year.

She was reported missing on Nov. 12 and found in a lake two days later, not far from where her car was discovered.

Visitation is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 20, at the Kaniewski Funeral Home on North Bendix Drive in South Bend.

She’ll be laid to rest at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the campus of Notre Dame on Wednesday, Nov. 21.
