The investigation into the man’s death began just after noon at a home in the 200 block of North Ingalls Street, a building identified as the Phi Rho Sigma fraternity. Phi Rho Sigma is a co-educational society of U-M medical students.
Ann Arbor police investigators at the scene Wednesday confirmed the man was found dead and that detectives were investigating. A U-M crime alert was sent out just before 11 p.m. Wednesday stating a cause of death was still undetermined.
The Washtenaw County Medical Examiner’s Office is also participating in the investigation according to the crime alert.
Medical school officials sent out an email to students and faculty notifying them of a student’s death Wednesday afternoon. Police have not confirmed to AnnArbor.com that the student is the same man found dead in the Ingalls home.
The home had been taped off by investigators, both uniformed and plainclothes, Wednesday afternoon along with the area around the parking lot.
The crime alert was sent out by the U-M Police but the Ann Arbor Police Department is the agency investigating the man’s death because it occurred off-campus.
Anyone with information on this incident is encouraged to call the Ann Arbor police anonymous tip line at 734-794-6939, U-M Police at 734-763-1131 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK UP (773-2587).
