A Boston College student from Brightwaters has been found dead in his apartment in the Boston suburb of Brighton.

University spokesman Jack Dunn said 20-year-old Michael Racanelli was found Monday in his Foster Street home.

Police say preliminary investigations have ruled out foul play. A medical examiner will determine the manner and cause of death.

Racanelli was a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences at Boston College who, according to the Boston Globe, was a member of the school’s club lacrosse team .

He was reportedly recovering from a collarbone injury he suffered last month. Dunn declined to confirm those reports because of privacy laws.
