A UCSD nonaffiliate died last week while sitting in a
stopped vehicle in a
parking lot, an event police are calling an apparent suicide.
The individual, a male whose name has not yet been released
to the public, was discovered in a blue SUV at
a.m.
police statement.
Witnesses allegedly told police that the individual was
playing loud music and had been revving his car engine for several minutes
before anyone approached the vehicle.
The morning following the incident, Revelle College Resident
Dean Malik Ismail sent an e-mail to all Revelle residents notifying them of
what had occurred.
Additionally, the e-mail informed residents that they and
any other students affected by the incident would be provided with the
opportunity to speak with psychologists from the campus Psychology and
Counseling Services Office that evening.
“The counselors are always available for students,” Ismail
said. “We wanted to provide this as an opportunity if there were concerns that
students had and to provide an opportunity to have counselors here to listen
and to offer any sort of counseling support.”
