A Texas A&M University student died just hours after attending the tailgate of the school’s rivalry game against the University of Texas at Austin on Friday night.
According to a statement from the Austin Police Department, officers responded to a report of an unconscious person at an apartment in the 2100 block of Rio Grande Street, just west of the UT campus.
They arrived around 12:50 am on Saturday and found a woman unconscious. A few minutes later he was declared dead at the scene.
