Jayden Broome, a University of Otago student, had just returned from Christchurch, where he captained the Southland Under-19 team.<\/p>\n
A university spokesperson this afternoon said staff were supporting the student, his wh\u0101nau and students to ensure they had the care and assistance they needed.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur thoughts are with the student and his wh\u0101nau during this extremely difficult time.<\/p>\n
\u201cOut of respect for the privacy of this young man and his wh\u0101nau, the university will not be providing further information.\u201d<\/p>\n
