Student dies after fall from tower at Fordham University
A Fordham University student died after falling from a bell tower on campus early Sunday.
School President Joseph McShane says 22-year-old Sydney Monfries, a senior at Fordham College at Rose Hill, died due to injuries sustained in the fall inside the Keating Clock tower.
Police say a group of seniors decided to climb the tower around 3 a.m. to get a view of the city skyline.
They say Monfries managed to climb to the top before she fell through a hole in one of the stairway landings and subsequently dropped 30 to 40 feet inside the tower.
