The district announced his death on Wednesday.
“We are deeply saddened to hear the news of the passing of one of our students. Adan De La Cruz, a senior at Rowe High School, passed away today,” the statement read. “He was a wonderful young man, very well liked, and much admired by his peers.
“He will be missed but not forgotten.”
The district offered thoughts and prayers to the family during this difficult time.
“We have a team of counselors at the campus to help students and staff cope with this tragedy.”
De La Cruz was injured when he slipped off a roof while attempting to jump into a pool.
The incident happened on Saturday just before midnight.
On Wednesday afternoon, police announced the arrest of a teenager they accuse of collecting the “entrance fee” at the party that resulted in the hospitalization of a football player.
Heron Hernandez Jr., of McAllen, is charged with purchase or furnishing alcohol to a minor.
He was arrested Tuesday and remanded to the Hidalgo County Adult Detention Center on a $25,000 bond.
Police have also arrested Jaime De La Cerda Islas, 51, and his son, who is a juvenile, for the same allegations and charges.
De La Cerda hosted the party at his brother-in-law’s house and an entry fee was charged to attend.
They were charging $10 tickets before the party or a $15 fee at the entrance, according to a police report.
Investigators have a Snapchat video that depicts the incident.
