“The AUB community is deeply saddened by the sudden death of third-year engineering student Marwan Hamzeh this morning,” the AUB said in a statement.

“We are mourning the loss of this promising young student and express our sincere condolences to all who knew and admired Marwan,” the statement added.

“Out of respect for the family’s privacy and grief, AUB will not be issuing further media statements on the tragedy. AUB administrators are in contact with his family and the students who knew him and are providing them with appropriate support,” the statement concluded.

        I cannot remember, but definitely not low enough for people to fall off them. This is the first accident of this nature since who knows when (1866)…. The guy came to his place at 5:30 am probably very sleepy and just hang over the balcony with one wrong move ended up 6 floors below…too much “sahar”….

    There have been many similar events before at AUB; i witnessed myself a nurse jumping from the AUH medical center falling dead. AUB is a nice place but sometimes the competition and the challenge is so high that some people simply cannot cope with. Many are forced to be there because their traditional families want them to become doctors or professors…. thats why we see a lot of drug addicts and 5thScotches. All we can say is may God have his soul; we will all follow the same pathway, some before the others; maybe the later the better. I would say parents should be less requiring from their children; whats wrong with 5thScotch: he/she got a job in this blog, no diploma true but as you notice that is not needed at all in here and scotch does the rest.
