DeKALB – Authorities are investigating whether alcohol was involved in the death of a 19-year-old Northern Illinois University student whose body was found at a fraternity house Friday morning.



Authorities found evidence of alcohol use near David R. Bogenberger, who was found in a bunk bed Friday morning at the Pi Kappa Alpha house, 1020 W. Hillcrest Drive in DeKalb, said DeKalb County Coroner Dennis J. Miller. DeKalb police responded to a call at 10:14 a.m., and Bogenberger was pronounced dead at the fraternity house about 30 minutes later, Miller said.



According to his profile on NIU’s website, Bogenberger was a 2012 graduate of Palatine High School and a freshman studying business. He said he enjoyed classic films, reading and playing sports with friends. He lived in Stevenson Towers at NIU, and his family lives in Osprey, Fla.
