A student was found dead near the PCV Parking Lot at Cal Poly. This has sparked widespread concern among the Cal Poly community.
A Cal Poly spokesperson says the Cal Poly Police Department received a call at 5:20 a.m. regarding a person who had been found dead near the R-4 parking structure at Poly Canyon Village.
The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office was requested at the scene to handle the investigation and identification.
Cal Poly is not commenting on a possible cause or circumstances surrounding the death, but says foul play is not suspected.
“Typically in situations such as this one, the university takes great care in first contacting the student’s family to offer our complete support, while also confirming the events that led to their passing with the appropriate authorities,” Cal Poly said in a note that went out to the campus community Monday afternoon, adding that, “Although that process is underway, it is not yet complete.”
As of now, there haven’t been many comments about the incident. However, one thing is certain: no foul play got suspected.
In such cases, the university makes every effort to contact the students’ families first. It is expected that the institution will provide unwavering support.
According to a Cal Poly official, the college will confirm the details of the events that led to their passing with the appropriate authorities.
