GREENWICH, CT — A GoFundMe page has been established for William Dym, the 20-year-old former Brunswick School student whose sister and parents were killed last month in a murder-suicide at the family's Pound Ridge home.

And in the eight days since it was launched by Dym family friends the Cohen Girls, the page has raised more than $105,000.

"At 20 years old, William Dym has suffered the unimaginable loss of both his parents and sister just as he was preparing for his sophomore year at USC," wrote the Cohens on GoFundMe. "While we can never heal his heartache, we can bring him comfort by helping to prevent any unforeseen financial pressures during his time of grief.

The page was established a couple of days before the family was eulogized at a service in Bedford, and while it has already exceeded its goal of $100,000, donations were still coming in as of Sept. 6.
