Sadly, on a quiet Saturday afternoon, tragedy struck the Bucknell University community as they learned of the passing of one of their own. It was a shocking and heartbreaking discovery, as a young university student, Christian Samay, was found deceased in his fraternity house. This news came just weeks before Samay was set to graduate from the university.
According to the Union County Coroner Dominick Adamo, the 22-year-old senior, who hailed from Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, was discovered at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house shortly before 2pm. The university president, John Bravman, shared the sad news with the entire campus community in a message on Saturday. He expressed his deep sorrow and extended his condolences to Samay's family and friends.
The president made it clear that the student's death was not related to a previous incident of an active shooter alert and subsequent campus lockdown the night before. He reassured everyone that there was no foul play involved. Unfortunately, the campus had to go through another lockdown for about 45 minutes on Saturday afternoon. This was due to a false alert from Virginia that was quickly determined by state police.
The fraternity house where Samay was found became the focus of an investigation. The university president announced the student's passing in his message, which was met with shock and sadness by the entire campus. At this point, the cause of death was still unknown, and an autopsy was scheduled for the following Tuesday.
On his LinkedIn page, Samay was described as a political science major. He had interned at various prestigious companies such as Digital Capital Advisors in New York City, the KBW investment firm in New Jersey, and M&T Bank in Baltimore. This showed his dedication and hard work towards his future career.
In light of this tragic event, the university offered counseling services to its students, both over the phone and online. The president urged the entire Bucknell community to come together and support each other during this difficult time. He also asked for prayers for Samay's family.
Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, where the university is located, was placed on the map due to this unfortunate incident. It's a small town about 160 miles northwest of Philadelphia. The news of Samay's passing was a shock to everyone, especially after the recent death of another college student, Qingyang Zhan, at Bowdoin College in Maine. These two incidents serve as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of coming together in times of tragedy.
