Andrew Mogni, a 20-year-old from suburban Glen Ellyn, Il., died on Sunday morning at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. He had been moved there after coming back to the United States, according to the University of Iowa campus newspaper. The fraternity recently created GoFundMe pages for Mogni and Rodric Jackson, a brother who recently withdrew from school to seek treatment for brain cancer.
From the Chicago Tribune:
The injuries occurred shortly after he arrived for a semesterlong program at John Cabot University in Trastevere, an administrative district in Italy’s capital city.
Mogni’s family and a university administrator traveled to Rome, where Mogni initially received medical care.
A medical team cleared Mogni on March 20 to travel back to the Chicago area, according to the University of Iowa statement.
Our prayers go out to the friends and family of Andrew Mogni..

11 years ago at 1:54 pmWatch the media try to turn this into a story bashing Greek Life. They’ll do anything to degrade us.
That being said, RIP Andrew. No one should have to die that young. Thoughts and prayers to his friends and family.

RIP to Andrew and my prayers to his family as well as prayers to their brother who is battling cancer and his family as well. My thoughts are with them all.
