The man leapt from the 26th floor study lounge at Boston University's Student Village II residence hall, located at 33 Harry Agganis Way, on Wednesday night, Feb. 13, BU Today reports.
The 33-year-old from Cambridge, who was not fully identified, is not affiliated with the school, a university spokesperson confirmed to Daily Voice.
“At this time the investigation is continuing and we can only share limited information,” David Zamojski, BU’s assistant dean of students and residence life director, wrote in an email to students on Thursday, according to BU Today. “This is certainly a traumatic event for those of you who may have witnessed the commotion, or heard about the incident second hand.”
In the wake of the incident, crisis counselors were made available at BU's Student Health Services’ Behavioral Medicine and Crisis Counseling, BU Today said. Marsh Chapel chaplains are also offering support. More information about helping someone in distress can be found here.
