COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Authorities have released the name of an 18-year-old University of South Carolina student found dead in an off-campus home.
Richland County Coroner Gary Watts on Thursday identified the student as Charles Terreni. Watts says an autopsy showed no signs Terreni had been beaten, stabbed or shot. Watts says he will release a cause of death after toxicology tests are complete.
Authorities say Terreni was found dead around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday in a private home about a mile from the heart of campus. Watts says Terreni was a freshman and lived on campus.
The national Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity said in a news release that the university chapter has been suspended and is cooperating with all investigations into the death. Colombia police have not released any details about their investigation.
