A student was found dead Friday in his on-campus residence hall.
Senior Marco Giovengo, 22, was pronounced dead Friday evening in the university's Lexington Hall, according to the Allegheny County County Medical Examiner's office. The cause of death is not considered to be suspicious.
RMU's campus safety department declined to comment Saturday. No cause of death is available.
The university's student newspaper The Sentry reports that Giovengo, a senior sports management major from McCandless, was a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity and a drummer for the university's marching band. Students also selected him for RMU's 2011 homecoming court.
Giovengo was scheduled to graduate in May. He was born with muscular dystrophy.
