AUGUSTA, Ga. — An autopsy is planned following the weekend death of a student at Augusta University.

Richmond County Coroner Mark Bowen says 20-year-old Michael Wilson of Brunswick was found dead at a student housing complex on Saturday afternoon.

Bowen tells The Augusta Chronicle the death is suspicious.

But no cause of death was immediately determined, and Bowen says the body was sent to a laboratory for an autopsy.

Augusta University spokeswoman Christen Carter says no foul play is suspected and the student’s death is not being treated as a homicide.
