An 18-year-old Pennsylvania college student was found dead in his dorm room Monday, officials said.
Kevon Walker was a student and football player at Saint Francis University. He died from apparent natural causes in his dorm room at Giles Hall.
“We were shocked to learn of the passing of Kevon Walker, a first-year SFU student and football team member,” university officials said in a statement.
“Please join us in praying for the repose of Kevon’s soul. Let us also pray for his mother and family, teammates, fellow students, and all who mourn his unexpected passing.”
Walker had reportedly been feeling ill in the few days leading to his death. His family shared that police found no evidence of foul play.
“The exact cause is natural causes, it was sepsis. So, that’s what we know for a fact, but they are doing extra toxicology tests to make sure there wasn’t anything else in place. But it was not foul play,” the family said.
