Student found unconscious at WVU fraternity dies
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Officials say a West Virginia University student found unconscious and not breathing at a fraternity house has died, a day after the school ordered a halt to all activities at fraternities and sororities.
Eighteen-year-old Nolan Michael Burch died two days after officers were called to the Kappa Sigma house and found someone performing CPR on him. His death was confirmed by Amy Johns, a spokeswoman for WVU Healthcare. Burch was being treated at the system's Ruby Memorial Hospital.
The Morgantown chapter of Kappa Sigma had been suspended since mid-October because of other violations of the fraternity's code of conduct, according to a press release from Leo Brown, director of chapter services at Kappa Sigma. The release says the fraternity was still investigating the circumstances of the incident with Burch.
