Police identify MSU student killed in fatal bus accident in Detroit

Police have identified the 19-year-old MSU student who died Thursday after being dragged by a tour bus following a Red Wings hockey game as business sophomore Ryan Rosman.

The Detroit News reported Rosman was hiding under a tour bus when it began moving and dragged him with it at about 10 p.m. near COBO Hall.

Detroit police said Rosman was dragged for up to a quarter of a mile.

Police originally reported Rosman might have been dragged by a white Cadillac. The bus dragged his body near Michigan and Washington Boulevard.

Rosman was a member of MSU’s chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity. Jonathan Pierce, an international spokesman for Alpha Epsilon Pi, said the fraternity is conducting an investigation of the incident and will take appropriate action following the investigation.

David Zemon, president of MSU’s chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi, said fraternity members will not be available to speak with The State News about Rosman or his death.

Anyone with information about the accident is asked to call the Detroit Police Homicide Unit at 313-596-2260.
