Around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday Dec. 15, a student was found unresponsive in Snell Library and pronounced dead in what appears to be a suicide, Northeastern spokesperson Shannon Nargi said in an email statement to The News. 

The Northeastern University Police Department, or NUPD, is working closely with the Boston Police Department, which has jurisdiction over the investigation.

“The university is making counseling and other mental health services available to everyone in the university community who needs support,” the email statement read. “Because this tragic incident is the subject of an ongoing investigation, the university will have no further comment at this time.”

The campus community was notified of the emergency situation via an Instagram post and a tweet from NUPD, which asked that the area be avoided until further notice. Around 3 p.m., NUPD gave the all clear and reopened the fourth floor of Snell Library. 

This is a developing story that will be updated. If you have any information about this incident, please reach out to The Huntington News at [email protected].
