Ben Christman, a 21-year-old member of the UNLV football team, tragically passed away on February 11th.
His body was discovered in an off-campus apartment, and the cause of death has not yet been determined, according to the Clark County Coroner's Office.
University officials have reached out to Christman's family and teammates to offer support during this difficult time. "We are heartbroken by the news of Ben's passing," said UNLV football head coach Dan Mullen. "He had a positive impact on our program from the moment he arrived on campus just a month ago."
Christman quickly earned the respect of his peers and was elected to the team's Leadership Committee. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones," added Mullen.
UNLV President Keith E. Whitfield also expressed his condolences. "Losing a member of our university family at such a young age is a tragedy," he said. "We offer our deepest sympathies to Ben's family and friends."
