A student was found dead this early this morning in Sunset Hall at Soka University of America. A friend knocked on the student's door early in the morning, at approximately 5h00AM to borrow a stapler, and found the body of the dead student underneath a large pile of books. Authorities say it appears that the student died from a pile of books falling on top of him and then a subsequent suffocation from the weight of the books. However, nothing will be certain until an autopsy is conducted.

Most students that we talked to have said that they were worried that an incident like this could happen. "Midterms have been going on for three weeks, so it seems, so people might have forgotten to return books to the library," commented one student.

Administration on campus had no comments, but did express their wish of deep condolances ("cordolances!") to the family of the dead student.
