(WBBM NEWSRADIO) --Mourning and investigations are underway at a Florida college after the death this week of a student from Kankakee.
19-year-old Graham McGrath's body was recovered from a lake at Florida Gulf Coast University Thursday, where he was a student and a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. McGrath was also a 2021 graduate of Bishop McNamara Catholic School in Kankakee.
McGrath fell of the boat, officials said. Foul play has not been ruled out and detectives are interviewing the other 13 people that were on the boat at the time, according to the Kankakee Daily Journal.
"The entire FGCU community is devastated by the loss of Graham," said Florida Gulf Coast President Aysegul Timur in a statement.
"Our hearts and deepest sympathy go out to Graham’s family, the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, his friends and all members of our Eagle community as we cope with this unfortunate tragedy.”
The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity also remembered McGrath in an Instagram post saying "His ambitious character and his gravitating personality was able to show what it means to be a true PIKE."
