A University of Dayton student died in Rome last week while studying overseas for the summer, according to a GoFundMe created by family friends and local news. Connor DiNapoli, a 21-year-old marketing major, 'passed away unexpectedly,' a description for the GoFundMe page titled 'Support for DiNapoli Family in Tragic Loss' reads.
We extend our deepest sympathy and prayers to Connor’s family, friends, faculty, staff and our entire campus community,' the university said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital. The university's Chapel of the Immaculate Conception 'is open for those who may want to offer a prayer or light a candle in remembrance of Connor,' the school said, adding that it plans to host a memorial service for DiNapoli in the fall, when students return to campus.
The university is also 'providing assistance to fellow UD students abroad. Campus ministers, the dean of students office, housing and residence life, and counseling center staff are available for anyone affected by this loss,' the school said.
