A University doctoral student was found dead at his home Wednesday.

Dirk Magwitz, a doctoral candidate in marriage and family therapy, was found on the floor of his apartment by a fellow student, Clarke County Coroner Sonny Wilson told the Athens Banner-Herald Thursday.

Authorities do not think foul play was involved, the Banner-Herald reported. “It all appears to be natural,” Wilson said.

A Facebook page “In Memory of Dirk Magwitz” was started “to be a respectful memorial to a man, an angel, who has touched so many lives in so many ways.”

No funeral arrangements have been announced yet.
