 An 18 year old man is dead after falling from the tallest building at Bemidji State University, Tamarack Hall. Reporter Cheryl Moore is live from our studio tonight to tell us what happened. Cheryl. Thank you, Dennis. The circumstances surrounding the death are still unclear, but police say an investigation is ongoing and their primary goal right now is retracing the victim's final moments. This is an investigation that's ongoing. There could be some criminal aspects out of this at some point, but we're trying to figure out where that may if it does in fact lie. The incident happened early Sunday morning, just after midnight. Police were called to Bemidji State University's Tamarack Hall after reports that a man was lying on the ground bleeding. Police tried to perform life-saving efforts at the scene, but were unsuccessful. We do have some evidence that shows us that he fell from a from a relatively high source and right now we're just trying to figure out put those pieces together to retrace his last steps. Police say the man was not a student at the university. Today Bemidji State University made counselors available to students and staff. The university also has plans to create a healing event in response to the tragedy. We'll be stressing to our student population again the importance of remaining safe and watching out for one another over homecoming. This is a message that we send on an annual basis and this message will come directly from me this year because we do want to stress the importance of safety of watching out for one another, the importance of not engaging in unsafe behaviors such as underage drinking and the like. Many students say they heard about the incident through an email from Dr. Hinsorud on Sunday morning. For students living in Tamarack, waking up to police lights outside of their dorms was tough. We're like on a soft lockdown I believe everyone had to stay in their dorms and stuff so it it was pretty pretty scary around here and on my floor there was you know girls out in the area just you know crying. I think everyone's kind of down from what I kind of what I've observed. I think people are still kind of talking about it and there's a lot of kind of rumored speculation still going around because no one really knows what absolutely happened yet and so there there is a lot of kind of speculation. Bemidji State University says they have plans to bring in a third counselor to help deal with the impact of the tragedy. Dennis, back to you. Thank you. Shiral for the live report from our studio tonight. The family of the victim has been notified. Although his name is still being withheld pending further investigation.
