CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say a Clemson University student has been found dead in his off-campus apartment, though it's unclear how he died.
Clemson police said 22-year-old Matthew Theiling of Piedmont was found dead in the bedroom of his apartment shortly after midnight Thursday. Pickens County Coroner Kandy Kelly told The Greenville News that preliminary autopsy results were inconclusive, but other tests are pending.
Police Chief Jimmy Dixon said investigators are awaiting testing results, but they believe the death may be related to drug use.
A school spokesman said Theiling was a junior studying industrial engineering. Clemson dean Joy Smith said Theiling was a hardworking student.
