A man died around midnight on July 22 after falling from the 8th floor at The Hub On Campus Apartment complex, according to police.
Police identified the man as a 20 year old non-UO student, but have not released his name yet. Witnesses say his fall “appears to be intentional,” according to an EPD press release.
There didn’t appear to be any foul play involved, according to EPD spokesperson Melinda McLaughlin.
According to an officer on the scene, people on the 7th floor launched bottles towards police officers while they investigated the scene and yelled antagonistic remarks, said McLaughlin. A manager at the Hub gave the people yelling 24 hour eviction notices, according to McLaughlin.
Aubrey Langenbacker was at The Hub Apartments visiting friends when she saw the man on the ground outside the window.
“Next thing you know, I was standing by the window and I looked down and I saw the blood and I knew that he wasn’t okay,” she said.
The investigation is ongoing.
