A Virginia Military Institute freshman has died after completing a ten-mile road march.

VMI officials said 19-year-old John Alexander Evans of Highland, Maryland collapsed in his barracks room after completing the training march with other members of his class Saturday.

He was pronounced dead at a local hospital shortly after noon.

Evans was an international studies major and member of the Marine ROTC program.

The medical examiner will determine what caused Evans' death.
