Beau Keeter, 19, was found dead Wednesday morning in a Dakota Wesleyan University dormitory. Along from with being a student, Keeter was a member of the Tigers men's basketball team.

During his senior year of basketball at Miller High School, Keeter averaged 22 points, six rebounds, three assists and three steals per game.

The Associated Press reported Keeter as a freshman, who was studying athletic training.

Investigators have not yet given a cause of death, and no ‘obvious’ evidence has yet been found. Keeter had suffered from Flu like symptoms the day before he died, but it's unknown (at this time) if the illness contributed to his death.
