University police were dispatched “at approximately 6:22 p.m. Monday evening regarding reports of an unresponsive student,” said Monroe.

Attempts to revive the male student “were unsuccessful and he was pronounced as deceased early yesterday evening,” said the chief. The identity of the student has not been released.

According to Monroe, “foul play is not suspected, but police are investigating the circumstances of his death.”

“UK officials are offering support services to members of the fraternity as well as his family and classmates,” said the statement.

“The thoughts of the entire UK community are with his family and all those who knew the student at this time,” said Monroe.

CNN has reached to the fraternity for comment but has not yet heard back.
