Officials are investigating the sudden death of an Ohio State University student.

The university confirmed Henry Meacock's death but exact details of when, where and how Meacock died have not been released.

Original reports indicated Meacock was in Mexico on spring break when he died but those reports have been retracted. However, his death did occur during the university's spring break. Classes are set to resume Monday.

The school released a statement saying their hearts go out to Meacock's family and friends during this exceptionally difficult time.

"The Ohio State community has suffered a tragic loss, and we extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Henry Meacock," the statement said.

Meacock, who is from New Jersey, was majoring in finance at the university, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
