Police investigating the death of Virginia Commonwealth University student Taylor Marie Behl declined to confirm reports yesterday that one of the last known persons to have see Miss Behl said she died accidently during a sexual encounter.
The reports stated Benjamin Fawley, 38, an amateur photographer and a suspect in the case, talked Wednesday night to police in the Richmond City Jail about his role in the mysterious death. Fawley told police that Miss Behl, 17, died when he restricted her breathing during an encounter in her car in Mathews County, sources close to the investigation told WRIC-TV (Channel 8) in Richmond and the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Fawley said he became scared after Miss Behl died so he dumped her body in a rural section of the county, about 75 miles southeast of the Richmond campus, WRIC-TV reported.
"He has been wanting to talk to the police," Fawley's attorney Chris Collins told the Richmond Times-Dispatch. "He was pretty frantic to talk to the police. I advised him not to talk, and he didn't take my advice."
Mr. Collins, who was present during Fawley's talk with police, also said his client was going to "help them resolve what happened." He did not return calls yesterday for comment, but has said Fawley had a sexual relationship with Miss Behl.
Fawley is being held on felony gun and child pornography charges, but has not been charged in connection with the death of Miss Behl, a Vienna, Va., resident.
