A University of Illinois student has died from an unidentified infection and a second student is recovering from meningitis.

Robert H. Davis, 21, of Mokena, a senior majoring in biology, died at 8:49 p.m. Thursday at Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet, the UI said. Tests confirmed he did not have a contagious form of meningitis, according to UI spokeswoman Robin Kaler.
