The Indiana University Police Department (IUPD) is investigating an apparent suicide that occurred on Wednesday at a student residential facility near the intersection of North Jordan Avenue and East 3rd Street on the Bloomington campus.
Law enforcement and emergency medical personnel were dispatched to the scene following a welfare call. Upon arrival, responders located an individual who was pronounced dead at the scene.
In a statement released later in the day, the Chi Phi Fraternity – Indiana University Chapter confirmed that the student was a member of the organization. The individual was also enrolled as a student at Indiana University Bloomington.
The university has not yet released the student’s name, pending notification of family members.
Counseling and crisis support services are being made available to fraternity members, students, and campus community members affected by the loss.
IU spokespersons urged students to look out for one another and to reach out if they or someone they know may be in distress.
This remains an active and developing investigation, and no additional details have been released at this time. Updates will be provided as they become available.
