2nd death on campus this semester?

Dickson McLLU Residents,
I have some very sad news to pass along to our community. One of our
community members, Boon Jim Lim, died unexpectedly in his room. We are
very saddened and shocked by this news and our thoughts are with his
family at this time. We have taken steps to support his family and
friends. If any of you need support or just want to talk, please feel
free to contact either myself or your RA. There are a number of
resources available on campus and we can make sure you are provided the
support you need. For those residents on 5-5, we will be holding a floor
meeting at 9pm in the Fifth Floor Lounge to provide extra support.
Sincerely,
Zach Helsper

All that is known right now is that it was an accidental death. if anything comes up it is up to the family to disclose that information.
RIP Boon Jim

this is really sad. when I saw the headline this it was so stunning, it took me a while to even read the rest. I didn't know this guy, but for someone so young to just pass away, it's tragic. RIP.

It's scary. I had a friend at Mizzou that past away the other day as well. I didn't know this guy, but still... It's just scary to think that anyone could die at anytime.
