RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina State University confirmed another student's apparent suicide on campus Thursday, meaning two probable suicides have occurred on State's campus over 24 hours.
Sullivan Residence Hall, on State's central campus, was the center of the investigation around a student's death on Thursday afternoon.
NC State police, a medical examiner and forensic teams responded around noon.
The news of a second death came hours after the body of Ben Salas, a student-athlete, was found in the woods near Lake Raleigh on Centennial Campus late Wednesday night. The death would be the seventh apparent suicide for a NC State student since August.
