PITTSBURGH (AP) - Authorities in western Pennsylvania say the death of a freshman who plunged from a fifth-floor balcony at a Catholic university in Pittsburgh has been ruled a suicide.
The Allegheny County medical examiner’s office issued the ruling Tuesday in the death last week of 19-year-old Dalton Bacco of West View, who died of blunt force injuries following the fall at Carlow University.
University spokesman Drew Wilson said Bacco fell from the balcony of the University Commons building to the pavement on May 3 and was pronounced dead less than an hour later.
Wilson said the death occurred during finals week at the university, which has about 2,200 undergraduate and graduate students.
