CU releases statement following death of student

Campbellsville, KY - A male student was discovered unresponsive in their dorm room on the campus of Campbellsville University in the early morning hours on Saturday, February 24, 2024. The student was transferred to Taylor Regional Hospital where medical professionals pronounced his death.

The cause of death has not been determined. Local law enforcement are looking for an individual considered a person of interest. At this time, Campbellsville city police have not identified a continued threat to students. However, as a university, CU is advising all students and campus area residents to heighten precautions by securing residences and vehicles, and increasing awareness of your surroundings.

Campbellsville University President, Dr. Joseph Hopkins, issued the following statement:
"Campbellsville University is grieving the loss of one of our family. We have lost a student and our hearts are broken. During this devastating time, the continued safety of our students and the residents of our community are our primary concern. With consultation from local law enforcement, we will continue to implement every measure necessary to protect and support students and our community."
The student counseling center on campus is open and counselors are available to students seeking emotional support during this tragedy. The Ransdell Chapel will be open for students and staff for prayer and support of one another.
