Big loss to both the St. X community and Notre Dame.

sorry, already a thread in the college forum. moderator, please delete this one.

I'll leave it..it's appropriate here as well since he wasn't yet attending ND.

Very tragic news indeed. Thoughts go out to the family of this young man.

Horrible news. Prayers and condolences to his family

I just posted this on the CFB one too, ESPN put out a new article.

The article mentioned he was "drunk and belligerent" in the time leading up to the fall. Leaned over the rail too far.

"Witnesses and friends indicate he had become drunk and belligerent," Humphreys [policeman] said. "He had leaned over the balcony rail, was shaking his finger at the people in the next room over. He fell over."

Unfortunately..our community can relate to this tragedy. In 2008, we had a similar instance happen with one of our players, Cory Kissling. A few days after graduation him and a group of friends headed to Myrtle Beach. While there he fell out of a 6th story window and passed. Alcohol was believed to have been involved then as well. Lives taken far too soon for something so stupid.
