A University of Dayton student died in Rome last week while studying overseas for the summer, according to a GoFundMe created by family friends and local news.

Connor DiNapoli, a 21-year-old marketing major, "passed away unexpectedly," a description for the GoFundMe page titled "Support for DiNapoli Family in Tragic Loss" reads.

"This loss has left their family shattered, grappling not only with profound grief but also with the unexpected financial burden of arranging his funeral," the description states. "Anyone who knew Connor and his soft heart knows that he was of the kindest souls and a best friend to so many kids in our community."

DiNapoli died on June 27, according to local news outlet WDTN. No information on the circumstances of his death was immediately available.
