Members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity have planned an open memorial service for a fellow member who died over the weekend.
The service for Jason Wren is scheduled for 6:30 Thursday evening on the front lawn of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house, 1301 West Campus Road, said Nathan Schriner, Lawrence junior and member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
The investigation into the cause of Wren’s death continued Monday. Sigma Alpha Epsilon members found Wren, who was a 19-year-old Littleton, Colo., freshman, dead at the fraternity’s house about 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Wren was a member of the fraternity. Sigma Alpha Epsilon members declined to comment.
The Shawnee County Coroner’s Office confirmed Monday an autopsy was performed, but was unable to release any information as to its findings. Lawrence Police officers said no signs of foul play were evident at the scene Sunday.
Wren was a member of the men’s lacrosse club and a pre-business major at the University. Before moving into the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house, he lived in Oliver Hall.
“He was one of the hardest working guys on the team,” said George Ressler, Chesterfield, Mo., junior and president of the lacrosse club.
