Funeral services are scheduled in suburban Buffalo for an Iraq war veteran who died after getting into a fight in the Kansas town where he was attending college.

Buffalo media outlets report that 27-year-old Nicholas Sardina was found dead last Saturday in his apartment in Lawrence, Kan., where he was attending classes at the University of Kansas.

Police say he had been in a fight at a house party several hours before at another home in Lawrence. Autopsy results are still pending. Authorities say no arrests have been made.

Sardina joined the Army after graduating from Clarence High School and served several tours in Iraq before being honorably discharged in 2008.

His funeral is being held Friday morning at a Catholic church in Clarence, just east of Buffalo.
