Grand Valley University Police Capt. Jeffrey Stoll told the Grand Valley Lantern, the student newspaper, that the death is being treated initially as "suspicious."
“This is a jarring and shocking event for all of us,” Grand Valley President Philomena Mantella said, according to WOOD-TV.
“This tragedy reminds us of the importance of each member of our university community,” she said. “Please keep the student’s family in your thoughts and offer your support to those who have lost a friend and fellow student.”
