DEATH: Two calls to Fire Dept.
From Page A1 department incident responses, shows that the UCD Fire Department responded twice to the student’s La Rue Road address — first at 1:46 a.m. and again at 5:05 a.m. Further details regarding the multiple responses also were not immediately disclosed.
According to the UCD statement, the university dispatched campus counselors to Miller Hall to speak with the student’s roommates, while others contacted his family.
“We know that many of you are grieving, and we share in that loss,” officials said.
“We encourage the campus community to draw on our support and other resources.”
Student Health and Counseling Services offers confidential services for students, and consultation and crisis response for employees, students and parents (530-752-0871).
Additionally, the Academic and Staff Assistance Program (ASAP) offers confidential services to all UC Davis and UC Davis Health faculty, staff and families (530-752-2727).
Tuesday’s student death comes less than a year after another campus tragedy — the May passing of Trisha Nicole Yasay, a junior who suffered fatal injuries in a collision with a garbage truck while biking to class.
The Yolo County District Attorney’s Office announced last month it would not pursue criminal charges against the garbage truck driver, although a civil wrongful-death lawsuit against the driver and UC Regents, filed by Yasay’s parents, remains pending in Yolo Superior Court.
