Violence does not appear to be what killed Georgia Tech baseball player Michael Hutts but it will be several weeks before the cause of death is known, an investigator with the Fulton County Medical Examiners office said Saturday.

"There was no obvious violent cause of death," investigator Mike Alsip told the Journal-Constitution at 2:30 p.m.

Alsip said the cause of death for the Dunwoody native will depend on toxicology results, which will take 2-3 weeks. Otherwise, invesitgtors will have nothing to say about what killed Hutts on Friday.

Hutts, 21, was found dead Friday afternoon at the apartment he shared on Northside Drive, according to Atlanta police and the medical examiners office. An autopsy was performed Saturday afternoon. Alsip said a roommate found Hutts around 1:40 p.m. at the M Street Apartments. The roommate's name was not released.

Hutts, a junior enrolled in Tech's College of Management, was a graduate of Wesleyan School in Norcross.

"This isn't supposed to happen to fine young men like Michael," Tech athletics director Dan Radakovich said Friday. "It's not supposed to happen to college student-athletes. To have a life cut short like this is just tragic."

Radakovich said the university's "deepest heartfelt condolences go out to his parents, Mark and Vicky Hutts, and the entire Hutts family."

At the corner of Marietta Street and Northside Drive, M Street is a gated community. Its residents are a mixture of Tech students, professionals and lower-income families, resident Jennifer Nam said. Hutts' neighbors said Atlanta police swarmed building 1000 at about 2 p.m. Friday.

"Whatever happened, that's really sad," said Jessica Kim, 29, who lives in the complex. "I feel bad for his family."

Hutts, 6-feet-2, 190 pounds, appeared in nine games this season. In 10 2/3 innings, he struck out 11 with a 3.38 ERA.

Friday night's game was postponed and will be made up as part of a doubleheader today, with the first game at 3 p.m. The second game will be played at 7 p.m.

Tech baseball coach Danny Hall said his players were devastated when he and Radakovich met with them at 4 p.m. and asked if they wanted to postpone Friday's game.

"Our players and the coaching staff were unanimous in support of this decision," Radakovich said. "The team was certain that a return to the field [Friday] was necessary and appropriate."

Radakovich said a minister and a counselor attended the meeting to support the players.

Hutts held several Wesleyan career baseball records — most victories (27), strikeouts (236), innings pitched (213) and ERA (2.03) — and was voted to the all-Gwinnett County team three times. He also held single-season school records for victories (eight in 2004) and ERA (0.80 in 2003). Hutts also played basketball and helped Wesleyan's boys win the Class A cross country championship as a freshman in 2001.

Wesleyan athletics director DeWayne Cupples said, "I was stunned, very shocked to learn this terrible news. Michael was a great kid. I always enjoyed visiting with him.

"He always had a smile on his face. Just a good kid and a good athlete."

Cupples said he last spoke to Hutts "in September, October, when he came over to visit the school. He'd visit us, take some fly balls, hit out of the cage when he had some time off."
