Karageorge,
a senior who had not been heard from since he went for a walk around 2
a.m. Wednesday, died from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot
wound, according to Weiner. Weiner said that Karageorge’s body was found
in a trash bin Sunday afternoon and that the police had recovered a
handgun at the scene.
Weiner
added that the police were still investigating the death, and were
working to determine how long the body had been in the trash bin and
whether the gun belonged to Karageorge.
Karageorge’s
family had indicated that his disappearance might have had something to
do with his concussion history. He reportedly sent a text message to
his mother, apologizing if he had been an “embarrassment” and blaming
concussions.
