A 22-year-old man was found dead at the Pi Kappa Alpha… A 22-year-old man was found dead at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house at Carnegie Mellon on Saturday afternoon, according to Pittsburgh police. The student attended Pitt’s Greenburg campus, police said.

Matthew Tembo, of France, was apparently at the house on Morewood Avenue for a birthday celebration, The Post-Gazette reported . His cause of death hasn’t been determined, but city police detective Christine Williams told reporters the man and his friends “likely drank too much.”

Foul play is not suspected, she said.

Crews responded to the fraternity house, which is located in the 1000 block of Morewood Avenue, at about 1 p.m, police said. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday morning.

Teresa Thomas, assistant vice president for media relations at CMU, confirmed the report Saturday night, adding that the student attended CMU from 2007 to 2008. She could not say whether the death was alcohol-related.

CMU is contacting his family and friends, Thomas said. The university will offer support to students from its Counseling and Psychological Services.
