The body of Ohio State University defensive lineman Kosta Karageorge was found today in a Dumpster near campus, along with a gun, Columbus Police said.

“At this time, there’s a lot of questions that we’re still trying to work out,” Sergeant Rich Weiner told reporters. “He was found inside of the Dumpster, the handgun was found inside of the Dumpster with him.

‘‘At this time we are able to confirm through tattoos here at the scene that it is the body of Kosta Karageorge,’’ Weiner said.

Karageorge, 22, a senior who played in one game this season for the Buckeyes, was reported missing by his family last week. His family told police he had several concussions and had texted his mother to say ‘‘I am sorry if I am an embarrassment,’’ the Columbus Dispatch reported.

The 6-foot-3, 273-pound Karageorge became a non-scholarship member of the football team in August after wrestling for the Buckeyes. He was one of 24 seniors set to be honored this weekend before their final home game.
