A vigil for Malik Noshi, the former Arbor View High School football player who died Sunday at his Flagstaff, Arizona, home was held Tuesday night in the Arbor View High School parking lot.

Noshi earned all-state and all-conference honors at Arbor View and became a starting offensive lineman at Northern Arizona University. He was a senior at the time of his death.

Foul play was not suspected in Noshi’s death, according to Flagstaff Police Department spokesman Sgt. Charles Hernandez. The Police Department and Coconino County Medical Examiner’s Office are conducting a joint investigation to determine his cause and manner of death, which remained pending Monday.
