After an autopsy, investigators still don't know why a Mercer University student died on campus Tuesday night.

Bibb County coroner Leon Jones says a roommate found 19-year-old Ronald Quashie dead in their room around 7 p.m. He was a native of Ellenwood, in Clayton County.

Jones said the boy had been sick for a few days with a sore throat, congestion, chest pains and chills.

He said Wednesday morning's autopsy found nothing obviously wrong.

The GBI will run toxicology tests to try to learn the cause of death, but Jones said that could take several months.
