At UWSP?!?!

It seems so strange to think I lived in Watson Hall (right next door) for three years. And in Thomson for a summer! And the news release is emailed to me...shivers! My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.

UW-Stevens Point student death
The Portage County Coroner's office announced today that the cause of death for UW-Stevens Point freshman Andrew Woods will not be determined until toxicology and pathology studies are complete, which could take up to three months.
Woods, 19, of Fredonia, died early Saturday at St. Michael's Hospital in Stevens Point after he was found unconscious in Thomson Hall, a campus residence hall.
The coroner's office indicated that trauma and foul play have been ruled out as factors in Woods' death, and alcohol consumption has not been determined to have been the primary cause of death at this point.
Woods' funeral will be held Thursday, Feb. 12, at 7 p.m. at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church, 7750 N Hwy 144, near West Bend. Visitation will be held from 4 until 7 p.m.
The university mourning flag will be flown at Old Main on Thursday in memory of Andrew Woods.
