<p>My thoughts & condolences go out to the Penn community (families, students, faculty, etc) this morning, especially to his teammates and to all who may have known this bright young man. </p>

<p>"Wharton junior Owen Thomas was found dead at his off-campus residence around 2 p.m. Monday afternoon, University spokeswoman Lori Doyle and Director of Athletic Communication Mike Mahoney confirmed. He was a member of the football team."</p>

<p>Owen Thomas was one of the best people I knew at Penn. We lost a tremendous individual yesterday… it really is a tragedy.</p>

<p>So very sad. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.</p>

<p>Condolences from another campus that has been hurt by suicides. The best thing to do is to simply reach out to each other and enjoy each other’s company.</p>

<p>Was it a suicide? Whenever I hear about a large athlete suddenly dying I think enlarged heart or some sort of physical defect.</p>
