Stanford University officials announced Monday that an undergraduate student who recently died inside a fraternity house was the son of two Stanford professors.
Eitan Michael Weiner, 19, a sophomore planning to major in history, died Friday at the Theta Delta Chi fraternity house where he lived. According to a letter that Vice Provost for Student Affairs Susie Brubaker-Cole sent to students and faculty on Monday, Weiner’s father, Amir, is an associate professor of history, and his mother, Julia, is an associate vice president for medical center development.
Weiner was discovered unresponsive Friday morning at his residence and pronounced dead at 10:21 a.m. The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department, Palo Alto Fire Department and Stanford’s Department of Public Safety responded to the scene. According to the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department, “the preliminary investigation shows no signs of foul play.”“When someone passes away so young and full of potential and plans, I know we all wonder how this could happen.
In speaking with family and friends of Weiner, Brubaker-Cole described him as a person deeply interested in history and politics, and who had a passion for rap and soccer. A private funeral will be held Wednesday followed by a public memorial service. Brubaker-Cole directed students to the university resource center for additional support.
