A 20-year-old sophomore at Bowling Green State University in Ohio died Sunday evening, three days after attending what university officials called an off-campus fraternity event that was said to include “hazing activity involving alcohol consumption.’’

The Bowling Green Police Department is investigating the case, Lieutenant Dan Mancuso, the public information officer for the department, said Sunday evening. He declined to provide additional details.

The death of the student, Stone Foltz, 20, of Delaware, Ohio, was announced Sunday evening by Sean Alto, a lawyer for the student’s family.

“The death of Stone Foltz is a tragedy,’’ he said. “At this time we are gathering all of the facts leading to his untimely death, and we have no interest in commenting on speculation.’’

Earlier Sunday, Alto said that Foltz was being kept alive for the purpose of donating his organs “so that others may have a second chance at life.’’

Officials at the university, about 20 miles south of Toledo, said they were moving to suspend the fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha, and planned to bring in consultants to conduct “a broader review of student organizations and activities.’’

Officials have released few details about the fraternity event Thursday. The university released a statement Friday saying it was “aware of alleged hazing activity involving alcohol consumption at a Pi Kappa Alpha off-campus event’’ a day earlier. The fraternity was “on interim suspension’’ as law enforcement investigated.
