A West Virginia University student found unconscious and not breathing at a fraternity house died Friday, a day after the school ordered a halt to all activities at fraternities and sororities, officials said. Nolan Michael Burch, 18, died two days after officers were called to the Kappa Sigma house and found someone performing CPR on him. His death was confirmed by Amy Johns, a spokeswoman for Wvu Healthcare. Burch was being treated at the system's Ruby Memorial Hospital. Morgantown Police Chief Ed Preston confirmed that Wednesday night's incident was alcohol-related, but he could not comment on whether alcohol caused Burch's death.
