An autopsy has been ordered on 18-year-old Travis Madden of Inez, who was a pitcher.
Kingsville police around 9 a.m. Sunday responded to a call at an apartment complex about a block from campus. Police are investigating reports that Madden had attended a party and was last seen walking back to his dormitory.
Further details on the investigation were not immediately released.
Madden was a chemical engineering major who had just completed his first season of fall baseball.
A&M-Kingsville baseball coach Jason Gonzales on Sunday afternoon held a team meeting to let fellow players know of the death.
