News - UW-W Student Found Dead

The Royal Purple is reporting that Joseph Hummer, a UW-Whitewater freshman from Beloit, was found dead on Monday afternoon in a cemetery near the Whitewater campus. While Hummer's death is still under investigation, an autopsy conducted yesterday pointed to asphyxiation as the initial cause of death.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Mr. Hummer and the entire UW-Whitewater community. A new academic year always brings so much hope and excitement, and it's so sad to learn of this tragic event.
