U Of M Student Found Dead In Frat House Identified

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — A University of Minnesota student was found dead Wednesday at the fraternity house where he lived, authorities said. The student was identified as Dylan Fulton, 20, of South Dakota.

Police responded to a call about a non-responsive man at the Alpha Gamma Rho house on the 2000 block of Carter Avenue around 5 a.m., where they found Fulton deceased.

Police questioned people who were in the house at the time. Authorities do not believe hazing was involved in Fulton's death.

Alcohol may have been a factor, police spokesman Steve Linders told KARE 11.

"We are saddened to learn of the death of one of our students," Dean of Students Maggie Towl said in a statement.

"The St. Paul Police Department is leading the investigation of this death. They will handle any related questions. During this time of need, support and counseling is available to any members of the University community who need it. Students are encouraged to contact Boynton Health or Student Counseling Services for assistance."
