STORRS, Conn. — The investigation into a University of Connecticut student's cause of death is underway after they died at the Storrs campus Thursday afternoon, officials said.
UConn safety personnel were called to the North residence complex on the Storrs campus just before 1:30 p.m.
When they got to the room, they found the student unresponsive, according to the university. UConn first responders provided emergency medical treatment until Windham Hospital paramedics arrived. It was at that point the student was pronounced dead.
UConn officials said the State Medical Examiner's Office would conduct an autopsy. However, preliminary indications suggest the death may have resulted from a medical emergency.
The death is not being treated as suspicious, the school said.
The student has not been identified, and university residential, student health, and mental health offices are coordinating services for those affected.
