A 23-year-old Clemson University student died Sunday after attending the Rolling Loud hip-hop music festival in Miami on Saturday.

While the Miami-Dade Police Department did not share much information about Jordan Petrocchi's death, authorities did confirm that he had "no signs of trauma." Police are awaiting toxicology results.

A GoFundMe for Petrocchi's funeral expenses organized by his friends and family says the college student's life was "tragically cut short."
