The death of a 16-year-old Seattle Central College student on Saturday is being investigated by police, according to the school’s Interim President Sheila Edwards Lange.
The victim, identified by the school in a post on Facebook as Hamza Warsame, died from injuries apparently sustained in a fall off the roof of a Capitol Hill building Saturday afternoon, according to the Seattle Fire Department.
The Fire Department said medics were called to the rooftop deck of a residential building on Summit Avenue East at 3:46 p.m.
The King County Medical Examiner has not yet released the cause and manner of death, and the school said police are investigating.
The school’s letter was posted Monday on a Facebook page titled #Justice4Hamza, which is hosted by Americans for Refugees & Immigrants. On that page, students and others express concerns about the teen’s death.
Commenters on the Facebook page believe that Hamza was killed by a Caucasian college student, and no one appears to believe that this was a suicide as first reported.
