A university spokesman said the pause was due to the death of Caleb Wilson, 20, a junior from Kenner studying mechanical engineering.

"The loss of Caleb has left an unimaginable void in our hearts, but your kindness and compassion have provided some solace," the family said in a statement.

Initial autopsy results are in for a 20-year-old Southern University student who was reportedly taking part in a fraternity ritual off campus when he collapsed and later died.
