Authorities on Wednesday found a University of Texas San Antonio doctoral student dead in an on-campus garage in an apparent suicide.

Campus officials found the student in the Bauerle Road Garage, located in the Katz Alumni Center on campus. Adjacent to the main building and the John Peace Library, the garage provides easy access to the east side and central core of campus.

“We are deeply saddened to share the news this morning of the death of a student in the Bauerle Road Garage. Information is still gathering. We will provide updates to the campus community as they become available,” UTSA wrote via their Facebook page.

UTSA President Taylor Eighty also said in a message:

“It is with a heavy heart that I write to share that we have lost a member of our doctoral student community, likely to suicide. I know that an unexpected loss like this can be overwhelming and impact you differently; however, please know that you are not alone, and there is support available. I know our entire community is experiencing a sense of confusion and loss, especially those who knew the student best. If you or someone you know is struggling, I encourage you to use the free resource available to you 24/7.”

Newsweek contacted campus police and Eighty, but they have not yet responded.

This is the second suicide at UTSA this year, with the first incident occurring on May 7.

Newsweek contacted UTSA Student Heath Services regarding both suicides, but they have not yet responded.
