MARQUETTE, MI-- A Northern Michigan University student has died on campus.
Tuesday afternoon President Fritz Erickson released the following statement:
“It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Northern Michigan University lost a member of its family today. Sophomore Anthony Herbert of Lapeer, Mich., passed away suddenly in his residence hall room this morning.
Anthony was a construction management major and a member of the Wildcat football team. What caused his passing is unknown at this time, and right now our concern is for Anthony's family, friends, teammates, coaches and team staff, teachers and fellow students. Northern is providing counseling services to those impacted who need help to deal with this loss. We will be talking with Anthony’s family on their wishes regarding memorial/funeral services and will keep the campus informed as those details become available.
If Anthony was a part of your life, the university community and I offer our deepest sympathy and prayers to you at this time. Anthony will be missed by many.
President Fritz Erickson”
