Tragedy as fourth year student at Multimedia University found dead in hostel washroom

The student is suspected to have died by suicide on Sunday.

According to reports, his friends had gone for a night out on Saturday, but the deceased decided to remain behind and later his body was found hanging from a rafter in the hostel washroom.

Police have launched investigations into the death.

University Deputy Vice Chancellor, Prof Paul Mbatia, expressed his condolences to the family and led a prayer session with students.

Addressing students, he said, "The scant information we have is that he was in the room when the incident happened. We are told that he had looked disturbed... we have been able to reach the father but are yet to reach the mother so we cannot mention names."

The body has since been taken to City Mortuary awaiting a postmortem.
