Carleton University is in mourning after a student was found dead in a residence building Saturday.

Ottawa police told The Charlatan they responded to a medical call in Prescott residence just before 5 p.m. and found the student.

University officials said in a statement that foul play isn't suspected.

Carleton student unions said they will be providing support services in Residence Commons on Sunday.

A Facebook group named "Campus-wide moment of silence" has been created, asking students to pay respect at noon on Monday.
