Student dies over weekend

A day after his death, friends of sophomore Jonathan Luebbehusen remember the leadership and enthusiasm he brought to those closest to him. \nAccording to the Bloomington Police Department, Luebbehusen died early Sunday morning inside his apartment at the Varsity Villas.\nLuebbehusen, a diabetic, appeared to have died from natural causes, police said. But Monroe County Coroner Dave Toumey said the final results of Luebbehusen's autopsy will not be available until later this week.\nLuebbehusen was a member of the Sigma Pi fraternity. Sigma Pi president Johnny Sladek remembers Luebbehusen as the quiet leader of the fraternity.\n"It's usually hard for live-outs to contribute to a house," Sladek said. "But Jon was always with us so we never really felt like he was separate from the house. He always made a conscious effort to help in any way he could, and he did the little things that make a house work. Jon was a special brother to us all. He was part of the family."\nThe greek community at IU has illustrated a strong sense of empathy for Sigma Pi since Sunday.\n"So far people around campus have been really supportive," Sladek said. "A lot of the presidents from the houses on campus have called us and offered their condolences, and a lot of the flags (in front of the houses) on Jordan (Avenue) were lowered to half-mast."\nThe University is also remembering Luebbehusen following his death this weekend. \nDean of Students Richard McKaig said the administration has reached out to his family and has offered counseling for those close to Luebbehusen.\n"I talked with the family yesterday just to express the University's condolences on their loss," McKaig said.\nAlthough he didn't have a chance to meet him, McKaig said it was a tragedy to lose Luebbehusen.\n"Most folks in this age group don't expect their friends to die," he said.
