A University student was found dead Monday, the result of an apparent suicide.
Curtis Gardener, a modern studies freshman, was found at his Lexington home. The incident is still under investigation by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Police.
"This is really very tragic," said Gladys Pramuk, Gardener's adviser in modern studies. "Him being a freshman, I hadn't seen him much except for group functions."
Services for Gardener are planned for Friday at 10 a.m. at the Trinity Hill United Methodist Church, 3600 Tates Creek Rd. in Lexington.
The College of Arts and Sciences will hold a grief intervention session today at 11:00 a.m. in 310 White Hall Classroom Building.
"All are welcome," Pramuk said.
Pramuk said it is important for all students to know that there is always emergency counseling available at the Counseling and Testing Center in Frazee Hall.
Jonathan Golding, coordinator for modern studies, said Gardener's death has had an affect on the whole modern studies community.
"This has hit the whole program very hard," he said. "It is quite a shock and our hearts go out to the family."
