Boon Jim Lim ’13, a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences, was found dead in his dorm room early Monday morning. Lim resided in Clara Dickson Hall and was last seen by his neighbors on Thursday. An investigation is continuing into the cause of his death, which appears to be accidental, according to Tony Craddock ’10, the residential advisor on Lim’s hall.No further details have been released, but we'll certainly be keeping a close eye on this story.
Lim is the third Cornell student to have died this fall. David Yang '11 died in a car accident in August, and Warren Schor '11 died in September after contracting the H1N1 flu.
Update: Head over here to read a post by Boom Jim about his application to Cornell. He was accepted early decision.
I just want to know what is the reason of Boon Jim's death. May him rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is odd how there is nothing about the cause of death...
ReplyDeleteI assume it was a suicide. By ruling out "foul play" or illness, there aren't too many options left.
ReplyDeleteWhatever the reason, the family wishes must be respected. We'll probably wait years to know what happened.
