Family, friends mourn death of WVU fraternity pledge
785-843-4266
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
MORGANTOW, W. Va. — During his short life, Nolan M. Burch had an energy that pulled people together and lifted others when they were down.
Fittingly, in that spirit, hundreds — most of them fellow students — gathered in the cold on the West Virginia University campus Friday evening to comfort each other as they remembered the young man during a brief candlelight vigil on the green outside the student union.
“It's obvious to all of us who knew Nolan that the contagious smile he put on all of our faces came from Nolan just being Nolan,” said fraternity brother Jordon Hankins, 21. “He was always around and never alone. People seemed to flock to him as if his spirit held this type of radiating energy which pulled others closer.”
"The two or three months I knew Nolan were the two or three brightest months of my life," said Matt Barnard, 22, one of two Kappa Sigma fraternity brothers who spoke of Burch, 18, a fraternity pledge who died early Friday.
Burch, a pre-sports management major from Williamsville, N.Y., died at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, two days after he was found unresponsive on the floor of an off-campus fraternity house, an incident WVU officials have characterized as a "catastrophic medical emergency."
WVU President E. Gordon Gee released a statement expressing his condolences
and shared similar sentiments on Twitter.
"Words cannot describe the heartache we, as a West Virginia University family, feel at the loss of one of our own — Nolan Michael Burch — who passed away today," the statement said. "The outpouring of love and support from his friends and this community has been what you would expect from Mountaineers, and I would ask that you continue to keep the Burch family and many friends in your thoughts and prayers."
"He was always around and never alone. People seemed to flock to him as if his spirit held this type of radiating energy which pulled others closer."

"I hope the entire WVU community understands how precious every life is to this University," Gee later tweeted. "We must help to prevent similar tragedies."
Burch's sister, Alex, wrote in part on Instagram: "It was truly an honor to be your sister. Words cannot describe the pain I'm feeling right now... I'm going to miss the connection we had with each other, how we could just make eye contact and start giggling for no reason, I'm going to miss your insane laugh, and the way we would protect each
other, and even fighting with you."
In a statement Friday, the national Kappa Sigma organization in Charlottesville, Va., said the fraternity is investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
"We are distraught and saddened by the news about West Virginia University student Nolan Burch," the statement reads.
Kappa Sigma said the operations of the WVU chapter had been suspended since mid-October because of "previous, unrelated violations of Kappa Sigma's Code of Conduct." Also, the chapter and school were notified Monday that the group's charter had been withdrawn and its operations had been closed.
Morgantown police Chief Ed Preston said Thursday that the first officer who responded to the Kappa Sigma fraternity house shortly before midnight Wednesday found someone performing CPR on Burch, who was on the floor, not breathing and without a pulse.
The chief would not provide details of the incident but said Burch had no apparent traumatic injuries. He said Friday that detectives are investigating whether the incident involved hazing, alcohol or other activities. The West Virginia chief medical examiner has yet to release the cause of death.
Kappa Sigma statement says. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the Burch family, the West Virginia University community and the young men of our former chapter as they cope with this tragedy."
Wednesday's incident and a Nov. 6 alcohol-fueled disturbance in a residential city neighborhood also involving a fraternity prompted school officials to suspend most Greek activities.
On campus, students were stunned by the news of the young man's death.
"Everyone's heartbroken," said Stephanie Musso, 19, a member of the Delta Gamma sorority.
Another Delta Gamma member, Clarissa Congie, 20, recalled the death of fellow sorority sister Sarah Marie Graham, 21, who was killed last year in a vehicle crash on Interstate 79 in Washington County. Congie said she attended the vigil to support Kappa Sigma.
"While we investigate, the Fraternity is focused on working with the university to ensure that the proper support and counseling is available to the individual members of our former chapter," the
"We know how it is to lose a sister," she said.
Matt Mister, 20, a Delta Tau Delta member, took a long dinner break from his job at Sam's Club to attend the vigil. He said he didn't know Burch personally but knows some who did.

"It's really gratifying to see that happening because again to everybody it was a bunch of garbage in the landfill. You're kind of nutty to go dig it up," Lewandowski told KRQE-TV.

Atari games buried in landfill net $37K on eBay
Joe Lewandowski, a consultant for the film companies that documented the dig, says the online auction, which ended Thursday, generated $37,000.
ALAMOGORDO, N.M.
— What some have called the worst video game ever made has fetched thousands of dollars for a New Mexico city.
The games were part of a cache of some 800 Atari video games buried more than 30 years ago in a landfill and dug up in April.
The "E.T." game, still in its original box, sold for $1,537 to a buyer in Canada. The interest in the games has gone global. According to Lewandowski, online bidders from other countries including Germany and Sweden snapped up items. Earlier this month, a museum in Rome opened an exhibit on the dig that includes dirt from the landfill.
These past couple of days ... you feel the sadness around," he said. "No one wants to talk about it."
An old "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" game cartridge drew the highest bid among 100 Atari games auctioned on eBay by Alamogordo officials.
Matt Carter, 20, a member of another fraternity, Alpha Sigma Phi, said he was "deeply saddened" by the news.
"I keep getting messages
"It's a shock factor, very emotional. It's difficult to see a fellow Mountaineer like that."
Reports that truckloads of the game were buried in the landfill have been urban legend since the early '80s. The "E.T." game's poor reception when it came out in 1982 was seen as a factor in Atari's demise.
City documents show that
from people around the world asking me if there's any more left, it's crazy," Lewandowski told the Alamogordo Daily News. "The people that lost the bids are demanding more but I keep telling them they have to keep checking."
Atari consoles and more than 1,300 games were found, including "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial." Some of the other discovered titles include "Centipedes," "Warlords" and "Asteroids."
After months of planning with state and local regulators, crews discovered numerous game cartridges on April 26. The dig cost more than $50.000. Lewandowski said.
LightBox Entertainment and Fuel Entertainment pursued the dig for a documentary that is due to come out Thursday.
