West Windsor-Plainsboro Grad, 19, Dies In Fall From College Dorm

A recent West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North graduate died Tuesday after falling from the window of his dorm building at Temple University. According to an early report from 6ABC, someone — now known to be Richard Dalcourt, 19, of Princeton — fell from a residence hall on the 1900 block of Liacouras Walk Tuesday morning and was taken to an area hospital with unstable vital signs.

A 2017 high school graduate and a freshman at Temple, Dalcourt started there in the fall semester and was pursing a mechanical engineering degree in the College of Engineering.

"We join Richard’s family and friends in mourning his loss," Temple University president Richard Englert said in a statement. "Tragedies such as these affect many members of our community."

The university is reminding students that counseling is available from Tuttleman Counseling Services at 1700 N. Broad St. More information on counseling is available at (215) 204-7276 or on the Tuttleman Counseling Services website.

"Please keep Richard and his family in your thoughts and prayers," Englert said.
