Clemson student found dead after apparently falling at Memorial Stadium

The body of a male Clemson student was found outside Memorial Stadium on Tuesday.

According to authorities, the student fell from the grandstands. He was discovered by officers at approximately 8 a.m. Per GreenvilleOnline.com, authorities believe he fell 120 feet from the top of the south section of stands.

It's unclear how he got into the stadium. Clemson was at South Carolina last week and plays in Charlotte in the ACC Championship Game against North Carolina on Saturday.

It's also unclear what led to the apparent fall. He's been identified as an 18-year-old from Dunwoody, Georgia. From WYFF in Greenville, which said it was choosing to not release the student's name.

Clemson University Police Chief Eric Hendricks said investigators do not believe foul play was involved in the man's death and that there is no threat to the campus.

State Law Enforcement Division spokesman Thom Berry said agents don't think anyone caused the students death, but are awaiting the coroner's report before making a final determination about what killed the teen.

Grief counselors have been made available for Clemson students.

"Our hearts go out to the family, friends and his fellow classmates. A death is always hard, for it impacts us all, but even more difficult at this time of year,” Clemson vice president for Student Affairs Almeda Jacks said in a statement. "We send our thoughts and prayers out for the loss of this member of our Clemson family."
