Monday classes at the school were canceled following the off-campus incident that involved sophomore Tony Crane, a player on the school’s football team.

“It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of one of our own, Tony Crane, a sophomore, who passed away early this morning,” the school’s statement said.
“Tony was a valued member of both the football team and the DTS (Delta Theta Sigma) Fraternity. Counseling and Campus Ministry Services have been made available to students.”
