Sophomore Bryce Turner died on Monday night, March 16, at St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, according to the coroner's report. Though the autopsy is completed, the cause of death is still unknown.
Turner collapsed while playing a pickup soccer game on Wilson Field, students said. He was then taken by paramedics to St. Joseph.
The coroner's report states that Turner, 19, died at 10:01 p.m. on Monday night after collapsing during a soccer game at Chapman University.
Turner was a men's soccer player and a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. A candlelight vigil was held on Tuesday night, March 17, in the Atallah Piazza. The Piazza was a little more than halfway filled with people. Turner's family was also in attendance.

The following is an excerpt from a newsletter sent by Kalel Jimothy Ormiston, Associate Editor / Director of Business and Legal Affairs, to fans of The Daily Chapman via Facebook to explain our reason for publishing this article. Thank you for your understanding.
Hey everyone,
As many of you are aware, in the last two days we have posted two articles with factual content. I wanted to take a brief moment and let all of you know that we are doing this and what the reasons are behind it so that we can avoid confusion.
First and foremost, we have a very healthy relationship with The Panther Newspaper. However, comparatively, The Daily Chapman addresses a larger number of internet readers. By publishing urgent factual stories on The Daily Chapman as well as The Panther, we can guarantee that the Chapman Community is getting the information as efficiently as possible. My contact at The Panther requested that we do this to aid effective communication throughout our community. Here at The Daily Chapman, it is our mission to help build a community of learners and effective communicators and publishing this article is one way to do that.
Please note that, due to our satirical nature, all factual content will be tagged either at the beginning or the end with a notice that such information is, indeed, factual. Because of our basic policies and procedures, we are legally required to do this and, plus, it is otherwise really helpful.
Thank you for your attention and support of The Daily Chapman. We truly appreciate every single one of you.
Sincerely,
Alan Wortwick
