A 20-year-old Miami University student was found dead in his off-campus apartment Sunday, the apparent victim of a severe asthma attack. Greg Browne, of Sandusky, Ohio, was found by a roommate in his apartment on Foxfire Drive near the Miami campus. He was a sophomore majoring in biology, said Miami spokeswoman Holly Wissing.
Dr. Richard Burkhardt, Butler County coroner, has not made a formal ruling, but said Mr. Browne had a long history of asthmatic problems.
Mr. Browne was a 1997 graduate of Perkins High School, where he played football and golf. He was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church, Sandusky.
Surviving are his parents, Thomas and Deborah Browne, of Sandusky, one brother, Kenneth; grandparents, Joseph and Shirley Smith of Castalia.
