UCD reports student’s death

By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer

A UC Davis student was found dead Tuesday morning in his Miller Hall residence, according to campus officials.

Yolo County coroner’s officials identified him as Arhan Vyas, an 18-year-old attending the university on a student visa from Mumbai, India.

His cause of death has not been determined, pending an autopsy scheduled for Saturday, Chief Deputy Coroner Gina Moya said Tuesday evening.

Other circumstances surrounding Vyas’ death were not disclosed, and UCD referred inquiries to coroner’s officials who are handling the investigation.

Vyas’ LinkedIn profile shows he began attending UCD last September and was pursuing a bachelor’s degree in computer science.

“Our hearts go out to the family, friends and others who knew and loved him,” campus officials said in a written statement announcing Vyas’ passing. “We are grateful for the first responders who were on-scene who did all they could for the student.”
