MIT Grad Dies on Campus

CAMBRIDGE, MA – A 2015 graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology died on campus Tuesday night in what appeared to be an accident, according to student newspaper The Tech. Nicholas Paggi was a software engineer at Ab Initio at the time of his death, the paper reported.

Paggi worked in D-Lab's Mobile Technology Group as a student. Lab Director Rich Fletcher described Paggi was "well-read" and had a "great sense of humor."

"We will miss him very much," Fletcher told The Tech.

The newspaper did not provide any additional details, but according to CBS Boston, Paggi fell after climbing onto the roof near the MIT dome.
