The university announced on Thursday morning, Oct. 15 that Jack Lundin, 18, from the Crestwood section of Yonkers, died on Wednesday night, Oct. 14.
Lundin was enrolled in the Newhouse School of Public Communications, studying news and digital journalism, the university said.

Lundin's death comes a day after another 18-year-old freshman, Trevor Pierce, was killed after a collision with a campus trolly. Pierce, a resident of New Hampshire, was in possession of a skateboard at the time of the incident, although it's unclear if he was skateboarding, according to reports.
