(STATS) – Duquesne University grieved the loss of football player Marquis Brown on Friday, one day after he died following a fall from the 16th floor of a campus residence hall in Pittsburgh.
In a message to students, the school said Brown, a sophomore running back from Washington D.C., jumped from a Brottier Hall window around 10:30 p.m. after campus police arrived in response to a reported disturbance. He later died at UPMC Mercy Hospital.
The Pittsburgh Police Department is investigating Brown’s death, but foul play is not suspected.
Duquesne has a home game against Bryant on Saturday. A memorial service for Brown is being planned on campus, likely Sunday evening.
The Northeast Conference said in a tweet Friday, “Today, the entire #NECFB Community stands in solidarity with our brothers and sisters from Duquesne. We are deeply saddened by the loss of Marquis Brown. May he Rest In Peace.”
