A small Christian college in Kentucky is mourning the loss of a student who was found murdered in his dorm room early Saturday morning. Now a fellow student at Campbellsville University, a 21-year-old man, is facing a murder charge, authorities say.

Campbellsville Police Department officers were called to the school’s campus after 18-year-old Josiah Malachi Kilman was found unresponsive in his dorm room. Paramedics took Kilman to Taylor Regional Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Cops did not release a cause of death but said the Kentucky State Medical Examiner’s Office in Louisville will conduct an autopsy.
