According to New York University’s Washington Square News, a 20-year-old junior was found dead outside the school’s library early Tuesday morning.
Though the medical examiner had not determined the cause of death by press time, it is believed that he jumped to his death. “While the cause of death is still being determined, indications are that he took his own life,” NYU President John Sexton wrote in a university-wide e-mail, according to the Washington Square News.
