University spokesman John Fedele said that Pitt had not been asked to be involved with the investigation into Longo’s death, and that his body was discovered at an off-campus residence on Ward Street.
Fedele confirmed that Longo was a junior and an engineering student.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s office said that the cause Longo’s death remains undetermined, and the office was awaiting the results of lab tests, including a toxicology test.
Fedele said that Pitt had provided grief counseling and relocation services to “a couple” of roommates, but he was not sure if those living arrangements were permanent or temporary.

The Young Funeral Home in Butler handled funeral arrangements.
