A University of Colorado student was found dead off of the Boulder campus on Friday afternoon. Jeremiah Park was identified by CU as “a rising junior.”
The university said that CU’s Office of Counseling and Psychiatric Services is providing support to family members and the CU community affected by Park’s death.
According to Boulder police, officers responded to a death at an apartment complex in the 1100 block of Pleasant Street at about 4:42 p.m. on Aug. 23. Investigators said that the adult male died at the scene in the University Hill neighborhood and the Boulder County Coroner’s Office responded.
That address is less than a mile from the CU Boulder campus.
The coroner will determine the cause and manner of death, but detectives said they “do not suspect foul play at this time.”
The university community, including the Sigma Nu fraternity, mourned Park on Tuesday.
The university said that impacted students, friends and community members can make use of the school’s Office of Counseling and Psychiatric Services, Office of Victim’s Assistance and other support resources on campus.
“I think they do a good job of being confidential when they need to be and giving students a lot of resources when they’re going through a crisis,” Anna Hoisington a junior at CU Boulder, said.
“We extend our deepest condolences to the family, the members of Gamma Kappa chapter and all of those affected by this sudden loss,” Sigma Nu Executive Director Brad Beacham, said. “We appreciate the immediate support and care of the university administration and the greater CU Boulder community during this very difficult time. We will continue working with local leaders to provide ongoing support.”
