Robert Keers, a senior in the School of Business, died Monday morning after being transported from Willington to the hospital, said a statement from UConn.
"In the short time since we learned of his death, it has become abundantly clear that Robbie had a wide circle of friends at UConn who are profoundly affected by his passing. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends, both in the UConn community and his hometown of Wilton," said UConnn spokeswoman Stephanie Reitz.
"As in all such cases, UConn immediately reached out to friends and others on campus who were close to Robbie, and encourages anyone who needs assistance to contact Counseling and Mental Health Services for confidential help."
Keers is the fourth UConn undergraduate to die unexpectedly since early August.
"We grieve for each of these valued students, and thank others in Connecticut to extending their support to our campus community and those touched by these painful losses," Reitz said.
State police said are investigating the death and awaiting autopsy results, NBC Connecticut reported. No further details were released on his death.
Keers was a member of Kappa Sigma, which posted a number of condolence messages on its Twitter page.
