Centre County Coroner Scott Sayers identified the teen as John Schoenig. The cause of his death is pending toxicology, Sayers said.
The Alpha Delta Chapter of the fraternity has been suspended until more information is known, the university said. State College Police and the University’s Office of Student Conduct are investigating.
“The interim suspension means the fraternity loses all privileges as a recognized student organization pending the outcome of the investigations,” Penn State said in a release.
Schoenig was visiting the area and was not a Penn State student, according to the university.
“The Chi Phi Fraternity prayers are with this young man’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time,” said Michael Azarian, executive director of the Chi Phi Fraternity. “While the incident at an off-campus residence was not part of fraternity activities, we will monitor the investigation by the university and local officials.”
An obituary posted on the Quinn Funeral Home website remembered John “Jack” Schoenig as passionate about ice hockey and “with a presence larger than life.”
Alexander Luddy, Schoenig’s hockey coach at Cathedral Preparatory School, told CNN that the senior was a leader on the team with a “contagious personality.”
“Jack was loved by his friends, his family, and his teammates and he will be missed dearly,” Luddy said.
