SMU STUDENT FOUND DEAD IN DORM

by Austin Kilgore

A freshman at Southern Methodist University was found dead in an on-campus dorm room by a fellow student Wednesday morning, according to a release on the school’s Web site.

According to reports on the school’s The Daily Campus Web site, Jordan Crist, from Hinsdale, Ill., a suburb of Chicago, was found unresponsive in Perkins Hall. The report said Crist was a resident of another on-campus dorm.

The cause of Crist’s death is unknown, and will be investigated by the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s office.

A memorial service is scheduled for 7:30 Thursday night at SMU’s Perkins Chapel.

This is the second student death at SMU this school year. Jacob “Jake” Stiles was found dead in his fraternity house after overdosing on alcohol, cocaine and the prescription opiate fentanyl. Stiles was also from suburban Chicago. Both deaths occurred two days before final exams were to begin.

Prayers & good thoughts to SMU'ers and all those touched by this tragedy the most, ie, the immediate family, relatives and closest friends.

Damn...those are some seriously similar circumstances, too.

Thoughts with SMU.
