Information regarding a James Madison University student's death has been released.

Ryan Feldman, a sophomore from Richmond, died of a self-inflicted wound in Rockingham Hall.

The Roanoke medical examiner's confirmation of the cause of death came late Friday afternoon.

JMU President Linwood H. Rose says, "We are all deeply saddened by the loss of one of our own. Ryan's death reminds us of the fragility of human life and should encourage us all to reach out to support and nurture our friends and colleagues. The entire JMU community sends its deepest sympathies to Ryan's family."

Counseling services are available to anyone affected by this. Police first reported the death on Thursday.
