GLOUCESTER COUNTY, N.J. - Rowan University students are mourning the loss of a 19-year-old friend and classmate who they say died by suicide last week.
Friends tell FOX 29 that a memorial filled with flowers and pictures marks the spot where the young man passed away. Lili Vroegh, a Rowan University student and friend of the victim, says, at first, she didn’t believe the news. "He was so sweet, literally, so friendly to everybody he met.
He just cared about everybody," says Vroegh.High above the memorial, there is fencing wrapped around the upper floors of a parking garage.
It was erected as a safety measure back in 2019 after a student fell from a garage. In that same semester, the university confirms three students died by suicide..
