PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A University of Pennsylvania student has died from injuries suffered in a fall from a dormitory over the weekend.
College officials say Ryan Smith died Thursday. He had fallen from the fifth floor of the Fisher Hassenfeld College House at about 10:30 a.m. Saturday.
It is not clear what caused the fall. Smith lived in another dorm.
His family said through a university spokeswoman earlier this week that they do not believe it was a suicide attempt.
Smith was from Rose Valley, a Philadelphia suburb. He was a sophomore engineering major.
