AMHERST, Mass. – A University of Massachusetts Amherst student fell to his death early Friday morning from a 17th-floor window of the John Quincy Adams residence hall.

The student has been identified as Liam O’Donnelly, 20, a second-year student from Hingham, Mass. The case is under investigation by the Massachusetts State Police assigned to the Northwestern District Attorney’s office, who by law have jurisdiction over unattended deaths, and the UMass Amherst Police.
