Kentucky university clarifies storm-related fatality, says it is not aware of any fatalities within student body

Western Kentucky University said on Saturday it is not aware of any storm-related fatalities among its student body, after the university president said earlier that a student died in storms on his graduation day.

President Timothy Caboni had said the student, who was not named, died at his off-campus residence. The university later said in a statement the fatality "is now believed to instead be the close relative of a WKU student."

"Information is still arriving, but currently WKU is not aware of any fatalities within the WKU student body," the university said.
