An investigation continues into the death of a University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh student found dead in his Wisconsin Street fraternity house room Thursday night.

The Winnebago County coroner confirmed an autopsy was performed on Jason Hert, 24, of Oshkosh, in Fond du Lac Friday.

Coroner Barry Busby said as of Friday night no cause of death was determined.

“We don’t know anything about toxicology, and won’t know for a week to 10 days possibly,” Busby said.

Busby said Hert’s body showed no signs of trauma or injury.

Oshkosh Police Department Lt. Tony Duff confirmed Friday night the department was still investigating the death. Duff offered no further comment.

A person at the Delta Chi fraternity house Friday night referred a reporter to a fraternity alumni advisor who did not immediately return a phone message.

A woman who answered the phone Friday night at Hert’s university-directory listed home residence would not speak to a reporter.

UWO Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Elliot Garb said police and the coroner’s office, and not the university, involved in the investigation.

Garb said the university only had little contact with fraternity representatives as of Friday night.

“The students who were there, as I understand from the contacts we’ve had from a few, are pretty much traumatized and shocked by it,” Garb said.
