ALBAWABA - An Egyptian student fell mysteriously from the fifth floor inside the Zagazig University in Egypt, leading to her death, local media reported on Monday.
Rawan Naser, a fourth-year student at Zagazig University in Egypt, died on Sunday after falling from the fifth floor of the college building despite attempts to save her.
The female student was transported to the Sednaoui University Hospital after she fell suddenly from the fifth floor. However, she later died from her severe injuries.
Security forces began questioning eyewitnesses from the student's colleagues and the college staff. Surveillance cameras around the building were also seized to capture the final moments before the incident.
Zagazig University mourned, in an official statement, the student Rowan Nasser: "Zagazig University mourns with deep sorrow and grief the student Rawan Nasser, Faculty of Science, who passed away this afternoon. The university administration offers its sincere condolences and sympathy to the family of the deceased and her colleagues, both male and female. We ask God to have mercy on her and to inspire her family and relatives with patience and solace. To God we belong and to Him we shall return."
Social media users and Rawan's friends call for a fair and clear investigation into Rawan's case, as some have allegedly said that this was not suicide and could be a criminal case.
A person on Facebook claimed that the student was alive after she fell and only needed some first aid to be saved, but the university authorities in the Faculty of Science at Zagazig University, "left her to die in cold blood and denied her getting any medical care until she passed away."
Videos showing university workers reportedly whipping the blood on the floor after the tragic incident were posted on social media.
