A student at the University of Manoa died on campus Saturday.
A UH spokesman says the student had a medical emergency while working out at the Warrior Recreation Center at about 11:00a.m. Saturday morning.
EMS said the victim was an 18-year-old man.
The university called in counselors right away to assist students who were there at the time. The counselors are also available for other students who knew the victim.
This is a message sent out by University of Hawaii President David Lassner.
