Indiana University student dies after falling ill at frat house

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana University police say a student has died days after he was found unconscious at a fraternity house on the Bloomington campus.

IU police chief Keith Cash says 19-year-old Brian Macken of Greenwich, Conn., died Tuesday evening at Bloomington Hospital.

The Herald-Times reports that Macken was found not breathing Friday afternoon inside the Phi Sigma Kappa house. He was revived at the scene but remained in critical condition until his death.

Campus police are trying to determine whether drugs or alcohol contributed to his condition and are awaiting test results. Cash says no signs of drug use were found at the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity house. Macken was not a member of the fraternity.

IU's Interfraternity Council postponed all large-scale fraternity parties indefinitely after Macken fell ill.
