A 19-year-old MSU freshman was found dead Tuesday morning next to train tracks in Holly, about 20 miles south of Flint.

The body of Michael Randolph, a James Madison freshman from Owosso, was found several hours after being struck by a train, Michigan State Police trooper Mark Pravato said.

Police believe the death was a suicide. An autopsy will be performed today.

Randolph was reported missing Tuesday morning after he didn't return to his Case Hall room.

Residence Life officials said grief counselors would be made available for students in the hall.
