Authorities are currently investigating the death of a California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) student who passed away on the campus of Cal Poly Pomona. The incident, which occurred earlier this week, has raised many questions as law enforcement and university officials work to determine the circumstances surrounding the student’s tragic death.
The deceased, whose identity has not yet been publicly released pending family notification, was reportedly found unresponsive in a campus parking structure at Cal Poly Pomona. Emergency responders were called to the scene, but despite life-saving efforts, the individual was pronounced dead shortly afterward.
Though the student was enrolled at CSUSB, it remains unclear why they were present on the Cal Poly Pomona campus at the time of the incident. Investigators from both university police departments, as well as local law enforcement agencies, are collaborating to piece together the timeline leading up to the student’s death. At this time, the exact cause of death has not been determined, and officials are awaiting autopsy and toxicology results from the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office.
In a statement released Tuesday, Cal Poly Pomona expressed condolences to the student’s family, friends, and the broader CSU community. “We are deeply saddened by the loss of a member of our CSU family. Our hearts go out to the student’s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time,” the university stated.
CSUSB officials have also acknowledged the incident and said they are offering counseling services to students and staff affected by the news. “This is a heartbreaking loss for our campus, and we are committed to supporting our community as we mourn together,” said a university spokesperson.
As the investigation continues, there has been no official indication of foul play. However, authorities are not ruling out any possibilities and are urging anyone who may have information related to the case to come forward. Surveillance footage, campus access logs, and witness statements are all being reviewed to shed light on the situation.
The death has prompted discussions around student safety, mental health, and inter-campus communication within the California State University system. Both institutions are working closely to ensure students have access to support resources and up-to-date information as more details become available.
Students at Cal Poly Pomona and CSUSB are encouraged to reach out to their respective campus health and counseling centers if they are in need of mental health support during this time. Additional security measures have not been formally announced, but both universities have reaffirmed their commitment to campus safety.
Further updates will be provided as the investigation develops and more information is released by the authorities.
