Pravia lived in an apartment at 239 West 15th Street. His roommate made the frightening discovery--and called police.
Investigators say there were no signs of a break in--and they are not yet calling this a homicide.
Pravia was from Pittsfield, Mass. but was living in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. He was a sophomore honors student at Pace University.
School officials say they are saddened by the news and offered sympathy to Pravia's family and friends.
The medical examiner will determine a cause of death.
