…as Babcock confirms zero death
A student under the influence of drugs has attempted to commit suicide at Babcock University.
A source who spoke to NewsDirect on the matter said, “The boy at the window smoked something that isn’t good (cana or colos) and under the influence he sat at the window trying to kill himself. So his friends/roommates were trying to stop him and help him. He broke the glass and stabbed one of the people trying to help him.”
However a statement from the University’s AVP for Communication, Media and Branding dismissed reports suggesting the student had died, assuring the public that he is receiving necessary medical care at the Babcock University Teaching Hospital.
According to the institution, prompt intervention from the student’s roommates prevented a more tragic outcome.
The University noted that acknowledged that both the student and one of his rescuers sustained injuries during the incident and were immediately rushed for medical attention.
While the rescuing student has been treated and discharged, the affected student remains hospitalized under medical care, with his parents already notified and present on campus.
The University stated that an active investigation is underway to determine the immediate and underlying circumstances surrounding the event.
The institution also urged the public and media organizations to refrain from circulating unverified information while investigations continue, reaffirming its commitment to student safety, mental health support, and campus welfare.
