Fraternity House Fire at Nebraska Wesleyan Kills Student
A fire at a Lincoln fraternity house affiliated with Nebraska Wesleyan University killed 19 year old Ryan Stewart and left three other students hospitalized. The house had passed fire inspections two months earlier with city certificates, and investigators say a laptop found at the scene is not confirmed as the cause. The fire’s origin remains undetermined with police and fire officials coordinating the probe. Nebraska Wesleyan, founded in 1887, enrolls about 1,800 students and is affiliated with the Methodist Church.
