By Brittany Shammas (Last updated: 11/22/09 11:39pm)A 22-year-old MSU student who was found unresponsive this morning in his Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity bedroom was pronounced dead later this morning at Lansing’s Sparrow Hospital, East Lansing police Lt. Kevin Daley said.
The student, an Adrian, Mich., man, was found by his roommate, who called police at about 5:39 a.m. Police found him lying on a couch in his bedroom. He was treated by police and transported to Lansing’s Sparrow Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
The cause of death is unknown, but alcohol appears to be involved and foul play does not appear to be a factor, Daley said.

So Sad

Thoughts with the family.

11/22/09 8:39amIf he lived in an apartment everyone would say that it was a terrible thing to happen to such a bright young man, but because he was part of a fraternity it is sad that some people think differently. My prayers are with his family and those that loved him.

11/22/09 12:21pmI feel that if you remove the comments section from one students death (i.e. the rosman kid) you should remove the comments from ALL student deaths. Keep things fair state news….don’t be biased to one student.
A concerned AGR mother
11/22/09 12:37pmMy son is a fellow AGR. We must remember we do not know what is the cause yet. This could have happened anywhere and to anyone. Students, If this is alcohol or drug related I hope this is a wake up call to you. YOU are responsible for yourselves! Such a preventable & tragic loss of life.
I am praying for all of you.
