A sophomore died after falling from the 6th floor window at 1 University Place. The Daily News reports that the police call it "an apparent suicide." The student, from Brooklyn, apparently went to another student's room in the non university-owned building to jump at 10PM last night. She was pronounced dead at St. Vincent's Hospital later. It's unclear whether she lived at 1 University Place or in Brooklyn. Gothamist is in no way an expert on suicide, and we are very saddened by this death, but it does seem odd to jump from a friend's window.
This is third suicide at NYU since the beginning of the fall semester. The other two were at Bobst Library.
Updated: Anthony is compiling information about this sucide at a NYUview.com. The email from Student Affairs VP Marc Wais says the student was "an undergraduate in the General Studies Program in SCPS and a resident of Third Avenue North."

For more information and the latest developments on this latest apparent NYU suicide, you can click on over to NYUview.com, where I am compiling the latest news. The identity of the victim has not yet been released, but more information about her has, as I've written on NYUview for those interested. This is so disheartening to lose a third student in 5 weeks.
They say "apparent" because all discovered deaths are considered a homicide until homicide can be ruled out.
Otherwise, the temptation of a murderer might be to do someone in and make it look like a suicide. This was the case in the small borough of Manville, New Jersey last week.
