The University of California, Berkeley, was shaken by two separate deaths occurring within a single day. The first incident took place on Tuesday evening when campus police responded to reports of a fall near the Unit 3 Residence Hall, leading to the death of 21-year-old William Yi Lu, a student studying Theater & Performance Studies, who was expected to graduate in May 2027. Authorities stated that there were no initial signs of foul play, and the Alameda County Medical Examiner is investigating the cause of death. Less than 24 hours later, a second body was discovered in bushes outside Sproul Hall, with the individual believed to be in his late 40s or early 50s and not affiliated with the university. Investigators have clarified that there is no evidence linking the two incidents, and both cases are being treated separately. In light of these events, university officials have reminded students of the availability of counseling and psychological services to help the community cope with these tragic losses.
