BGSU student found dead on campus
Posted: Tuesday, December 13, 2011 8:30 pm

Sophomore Joseph Monroe, 20, died late this afternoon, according to an email sent by University President Mary Ellen Mazey at about 8 p.m.

He is from Wadsworth, Ill., and was a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, according to the email.

Monroe was found dead at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house after a 911 call was made at 4:30 p.m. today, said Robin Gerrow, chief communications officer at the University.

Police are investigating the incident, according to the email.

"I know this is a difficult time for the entire University community," Mazey said in the email.

Mazey included that counselors are available on campus and calls can be made this evening to the Link at 419-352-1545. The Counseling Center is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and can be reached at 419-372-2081.

Pi Kappa Alpha is hosting a candlelight vigil at 9 p.m. tonight in the Conklin courtyard.
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

Wow..I cannot think of a worse thing that could happen to a parent.

Yeah I'm actually a recent alumni of the Pi Kappa Alpha chapter so all of this is pretty much a shock to all of us right now and our thoughts and prayers are with his family right now. I don't think any of us really saw this coming since he seemed to be a guy that was always outgoing and full of life, but I guess that is sometimes how it goes. :( R.I.P. Joe and hopefully he is in a better place now.

Are you implying this was a suicide? :(

Wow. Yesterday was a very tragic day indeed. A 25 year old woman who was 8 1/2 months pregnant was found dead by her mother in my apartment complex yesterday, police are treating it as a homicide, but not officially calling it that until an official cause of death is released.

Thoughts and prayers with both families...

First thought that crossed my mind given that it's the end of the semester

Our thoughts and prayers go out to both of these families. I cannot begin imagine what they are going through.

That seemed to be implied in one of the other news articles. Very sad news indeed. I picked Nicholas up last night for Christmas Break and forgot to ask him about it. The 2 hour ride home was filled with other conversations.
