Western Kentucky University said on Saturday it is not aware of any storm-related fatalities among its student body, after the university president said earlier that a student died in storms on his graduation day.
President Timothy Caboni had said the student, who was not named, died at his off-campus residence. The university later said in a statement the fatality "is now believed to instead be the close relative of a WKU student."
"Information is still arriving, but currently WKU is not aware of any fatalities within the WKU student body," the university said.

Barry Morphew, a longtime suspect in his wife's disappearance and murder, was arrested in Arizona on June 20, 2025, two days after he was indicted on a first-degree murder charge in the case of his wife Suzanne Morphew's death. This was the second time Barry Morphew has been arrested and charged in her death. The initial charges were dismissed without prejudice, meaning authorities reserved the right to charge him again.
