Chuck Ozulumba was on a weekend rafting excursion with other Laurier students at the time of his death

Flags are flying at half-mast at Wilfrid Laurier, following the drowning death of a 22-year-old student near the capital.

At the time of his death, Chuck Ozulumba was on a weekend excursion with other Laurier students.

The university says in a statement it's focused on the wellbeing of those who were with Ozulumba when he died - and the campus community as a whole.

OPP say Ozulumba went underwater Friday evening, while rafting out on the waters of the Ottawa River near Renfrew.

He was pronounced dead shortly after being rushed to hospital. A post-mortem examination has been scheduled, but police say foul play is not suspected.

Ozulumba was a business administration student at the Lazaridis School of Business and Economics on Laurier's Waterloo campus, and was preparing to enter his final year.

In a statement, the university says it's extending support and counselling services to all students as a result of Ozulumba's death.
