A 19-year-old Northwestern University student died Wednesday after being pulled from Lake Michigan near the university’s Evanston campus.

Northwestern said the student was not from the Evanston area. The university is offering crisis support services to students affected by the death.

The circumstances surrounding the incident were not disclosed, and the student’s identity had not been released as of Wednesday.

Northwestern said it would provide additional updates as they become available. The university did not say whether Evanston police or campus police are leading the response.
