The Penny News 915

Weatherford, OK — Southwestern Oklahoma State University has issued a campus message following the confirmation of student Logan Nathaniel Musil’s death and an arrest in the case. President Janet Cunningham, Ed.D., called the loss “devastating,” offered condolences to Musil’s family and friends, and said the university will share details on campus support opportunities as they develop.

The university asked the public to direct questions about the case to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, and to avoid sharing unconfirmed information. OSBI says Musil, 18, was reported missing Sept. 30. He was found deceased Oct. 8 near Veteran’s Lake in Sulphur. Cameron Lewis, 18, was arrested Oct. 9 in Weatherford. Charges will be determined by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Oklahoma.

SWOSU reminded students, faculty, and staff that counseling is available through the Center for Health and Wellbeing, and employees can access the Employee Assistance Program. Info is at bulldog.swosu.edu under Health and Counseling. The university said the campus community’s strength lies in care for one another, and encouraged anyone struggling to seek help.
