Penn DE Owen Thomas Found Dead Off-Campus
Foul play not suspected. Tragic as he was the team captain and a promising athlete.
Thomas, of Allentown, was voted one of Quakers' captains earlier this month. The 6-foot-2, 240-pound defensive end was a second-team All-Ivy player in 2009, recording 29 tackles and finishing second in the league with six sacks.
For those curious, this is University of Pennsylvania, not PSU.

I read that as Penn State at first and I was wondering who he was. This stuff always sucks.

RIP man.
More horrible story... and the kid was a freaking Wharton student, one of the toughest schools to get in to.
Prayers to his family.
So many of the really, really talented kids put way too much on themselves, between athletics and academics, and then resort to drugs to blow off steam. Hopefully that wasn't the case here.
