Michael Robinson, a freshman at Ohio University, died in Atkinson House on Saturday, according to an email from OU's Dean of Students Jenny Hall-Jones.
Robinson, who was studying psychology and pre-physical therapy, lived in Foster House and his death was confirmed by Athens County emergency medical personnel, according to a campuswide email from Hall-Jones.
The time and cause of Robinson's death are unknown.
"Based on the information that OUPD has at this time, there is no reason to believe that there is an ongoing danger to the community," Hall-Jones said in the email.
Hall-Jones and Vice President for Student Affairs Ryan Lombardi could not immediately be reached for comment Saturday.
Counselors and residential housing staff are at both Atkinson and Foster houses on deep South Green providing support to students, Hall-Jones wrote in her email.
"Remember to take care of yourself and each other," she said. "Please ask for help if you need it."
