A THIRD-YEAR UST Biology student died after falling from the Main Building last Nov. 12.
It was not clear whether the student intentionally jumped from the fourth floor of the 85-year-old building.
Students from the Faculty of Civil Law, which is also located in the Main Building, recalled hearing a loud thud inside the building’s left wing at around 2 p.m. A Pharmacy student witnessed the fall and was given stress debriefing, said Joseph Badinas, UST’s security chief.
The student was rushed to UST Hospital around five minutes later, but was pronounced dead at 7:40 p.m.
As of press time, the Varsitarian is trying to seek comments from the University, the College of Science and the Security Office but they have yet to respond. Reden D. Madrid and Bernadette D. Nicolas
