A student from Padjadjaran University was found dead on Friday at his residence in Jatinangor, Sumedang, West Java, in what appears to be an apparent suicide, the third possible case at the campus since December. According to the university records, the 22-year-old fatality studied animal husbandry and was known as a promising student with a high grade point average (GPA) of 3.88.
The student was found hanged at his residence in Hegarmanah village, which is close to the campus.
The spokesperson of Padjadjaran University, Syauqy Luqman, said the body was discovered by Agus Purwanto, a lecturer from the university’s School of Mathematics and Natural Science, who lived nearby.
Shortly after learning the news, the dean of the School of Animal Husbandry, Husmy Yurmiati, and deputy dean Iman Hernaman talked to the police and the victim’s family who were already at the student’s residence.
“We urge the public not to speculate about [the student’s] death until the police issue an official statement,” Syauqy said on Friday. He added that the police are currently investigating the death and collecting more information.
Sumedang Police chief Sr. Comr. Hartoyo claimed that the student’s mental condition was unstable prior to his death.
“He always threatened to kill himself whenever he got into trouble. Before he [died], he had a problem with his girlfriend,” Hartoyo told The Jakarta Post on Saturday.
Prior to this incident, two students at the campus committed suicide in
