Brunner graduated Sunday with a mechanical engineering degree, according to UD officials.
Dayton police and medics were dispatched just after 7 p.m. to the 300 block of Irving Avenue on reports of a man trapped under a vehicle, according to the Montgomery County Regional Dispatch Center.
A jack apparently collapsed, police said, and the man later identified as Brunner was found dead at the scene.
“We extend our deepest sympathy and prayers to Ian’s family, friends, faculty, staff and our entire campus community,” the university said.
A memorial gathering place took place at 10:30 a.m. Monday in the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception at 300 College Park. The gathering was livestreamed at Campus Ministry’s YouTube Channel.
Campus ministers, the dean of students office, housing and residence life and counseling staff also are available for students, the university said.
Information on funeral services will be posted on UD’S Porches when available.
The incident remains under investigation.
