Boston University student Michael DeVito found dead

BOSTON (FOX25, myfoxboston) - A Boston University sophomore was found dead yesterday in an off-campus residence, possibly from a preexisting medical condition, Boston University reported on its Web site .

Police told BU Today they responded to an "unconscious person’" call at 50 Gardner St. – a home occupied by members of the Sigma Chi fraternity -- at 8:30 a.m. Michael DeVito, 19, a mathematics major from Rye, N.Y., was taken to St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center in Brighton, where he was pronounced dead.

The Boston Globe on its Web site says the police report indicated that a pre-existing condition may have played a role in DeVito's death. The report does not list the condition.

Boston University Police Chief Thomas Robbins says there is no evidence of foul play. The death, however, is being investigated by Boston police.
Counseling for students is available at the Department of Behavioral Medicine at Student Health Services at 881 Commonwealth Ave.

The investigation remains open, pending an autopsy by the state medical examiner’s office.
