Truett McConnell University student dies on campus; investigation underway
Police say foul play is not suspected in the death of a Truett McConnell University student, but the investigation remains ongoing.
Officers responded to a residence on Twin Springs Court around 5:18 p.m. Sunday after receiving a 911 call about an unresponsive person, according to the Cleveland Police Department.
Police found a student dead inside the residence. The White County Coroner's Office transported his body to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for a medical examination.
The university previously confirmed that a student died on campus Sunday but did not release the student's name or provide other details, citing the family's privacy.
"Our community is heartbroken, and our prayers are with the student's family, friends, classmates and all who are grieving," the university said.
Truett McConnell said it is providing counseling, pastoral care and other support to students, faculty and staff affected by the death. The school also asked people to avoid speculation and sharing unverified information while authorities investigate.
