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.

Authorities transported Petrocchi from the music festival to the hospital on Saturday, and he died the next day, according to police.

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