A 19-year-old student at the University of Vermont was found dead in the snow Saturday on one of the coldest Groundhog Days in decades.

The student, who was identified on Sunday as 19-year-old Connor Gage of Little Falls, New York, was apparently cutting through the parking lot during the early morning hours on Saturday when he was stopped by a fence.

“Exposure to cold seems to have been a cause or significant contributing factor,” police said.

According to Fox News, he is the second college student to die in a week in frigid temperatures.

First responders attempted to resuscitate the 19-year-old “without success,” and pronounced him dead at the scene.

The temperature was between minus 1 degree and negative 4 degrees at the time, police said.
