Columbia SEAS student found dead in dorm

<p>An awful and tragic event. My heart goes out to this boy’s family and friends. It seems he was involved and engaged in campus life. So hard to understand! </p>

<p>How very, very sad. I, too, have a 19 year old son who is a jazz musician and possible engineering major. A student from his high school class recently took his life in the same way. I hate to think of anyone feeling so bad that they take steps to end their life. My heart goes out to his family and friends.</p>
