(CNN) -- The suicide of a Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity member at a Pennsylvania university may have been caused by hazing, police said Thursday. Marquise Braham, 18, jumped to his death Friday from the roof of a Marriott hotel on Long Island while home for spring break, authorities said. "He's kind, gentle, fun, sarcastic," the victim's father, Rich Braham, told CNN affiliate News 12 Long Island. "Just good to be around. His entire life was in Christ-centered education." A freshman at Penn State Altoona, Braham may have been subjected to hazing and physical abuse at an off-campus fraternity house before he committed suicide, said Ron Heller, chief of the Logan Township Police Department.
