MILWAUKEE — A Marquette University student died at a residence hall Monday night, according to the Marquette University Police Department.

The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office identified the student as 19-year-old Kamrin Ray.

An investigation report states they believe his death to be from 'natural causes.' First responders found him unresponsive on the bed by his roommate and pronounced him deceased. The ME's office states Ray had a history of diabetes with insulin found near him. No drugs or drug paraphernalia were found in the room.

The Acting Keyes Dean of the College of Business Administration, Tim Hanley, said in a letter to students and staff Tuesday that Kamrin was "soft-spoken, attentive, thoughtful and interactive in his classes. One of his professors noted that during Kamrin's Business Day One class, Kamrin was selected to be the project leader of his group, entrusted to lead and represent the team. He was a wonderful young man who made those around him better."

Marquette University police said it was called to Cobeen Residence Hall around 9:30 p.m. for reports of a non-responsive student.

When officers arrived, they attempted life-saving efforts but were unsuccessful and the student was pronounced dead on the scene.

Police said there were no signs of trauma on the student. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office responded to the scene and will conduct an autopsy in the coming days.
