Huber’s body was found in his bedroom in Wolman Hall on the 3300 block of North Charles Street in the Johns Hopkins Homewood neighborhood, according to university and police officials.
Police did not find any evidence of criminal activity. An autopsy is pending.
“We are stunned and deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Jeremy Huber,” Johns Hopkins men’s lacrosse coach Dave Pietramala said in a statement. “Jeremy was a wonderful young man who was extremely well-liked by his teammates and the members of our lacrosse family.”
