A Templin Hall resident died Sunday night after collapsing in a hallway on the fifth floor.
Andrew Rotman, Cawker City freshman, was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The cause of death is unknown.
Jesse Niebaum, Pittsburg freshman and one of Rotman’s roommates, said he greeted Rotman in the hallway Sunday night about 8:30 p.m., right before Rotman collapsed.
Rotman was a well-intended, goofy guy who was open to anything, Niebaum said. Rotman once created an entire meal out of juice at Mrs. E’s, he said, and stole his roommates’ barbecue sauce while they were trying to eat.
Rotman graduated from Lakeside High School in Downs in 2005. He received numerous academic scholarships from the University of Kansas and was named to the Fall 2005 Honor Roll. He also served as the public relations and technology director for the Association of University Residence Halls.
Jessica Sullivan, AURH president, said the hardest part for her Monday was remembering the in-depth conversation the two had Sunday at Mrs. E’s about Monday’s AURH meeting.
“I’m still blown away,” Sullivan said. “He was just a really good kid.”
Chancellor Robert Hemenway issued a statement Monday expressing the University’s condolences.
“The sudden loss of such a bright young man who was filled with promise and who had already begun an active college career in the short time he was at KU fills us with great sadness,” Hemenway said. “We offer our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.”
