San Marcos Police Confirm Texas State University Student Died Of Suicide

SAN MARCOS, TX — University officials are investigating the death of a male student found in a stairwell as a suicide, officials said Monday.

"Texas State University police are investigating an apparent suicide of a student whose body was discovered in a stairwell this morning at ASB North," officials wrote, referencing the Academic Services Building on campus. "Condolences go out to the family and loved ones of the victim."

Grief counselors were being made available to help students deal with their emotions over the death. University officials provided no further details.

This is the third time the university has been touched by death this year, and in close succession. On Oct. 29, TSU student Jordin Taylor, 20, was killed after being struck by a bus and dragged some 500 feet. Her body was discovered wedged under the bus the next day when a mechanic was dispatched for repairs.

Earlier, a man who died at the Metropolitan Apartments student housing was found dead, although university officials later confirmed he was not a Texas State University student.
