A 20-year-old tennis player at Keiser University drowned last weekend in a pool on the school's West Palm Beach, Fla., campus.
According to WPTV, police received a call Sunday of a report that there was a person at the bottom of a campus pool.
Police said the 911 operator gave instructions to remove the victim from the water and begin CPR.
Campus security responded to the scene and continued CPR until paramedics with the West Palm Beach Police Department arrived.
The victim, Ruben Tronhus who was from Norway and lived in Spain, died shortly after arriving at St. Mary's Medical Center. The university later reported that Tronhus was a member of the school's tennis team.
Police said Tronhus was with his roommate at the tennis courts when Tronhus left to go the pool. Two students found him at the bottom of the pool and called for help.
"We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Ruben. He was a great teammate and more importantly, a great young man who was loved by everyone who met him. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family," Daniel Finn, Keiser University's Director of Tennis, said in a statement.
The school said campus members gathered on Wednesday for a memorial service to honor Tronhus.
Grief counseling is available to all students, faculty and staff during this difficult moment.
