BU student dies from fall in hotel lobby

Adam Robert Engel, a junior, died early this morning at the Doubletree Guest Suites Hotel, 400 Soldiers Field Road, BU Today reports.

The official BU site reports Engel's fall was an accident and that by the time rescue workers got to him shortly after 1 a.m., he was not breathing and had no pulse. He may have been there for an hour.

Engel, who would have turned 20 on Sunday, was a straight-A business-administration student:

Sandra Procopio, [School of Management] assistant dean of the undergraduate honors program, says Engel was an outstanding student and a wonderful person.

"Adam was very active in the SMG community," Procopio says. "But what I really remember about him is that he always had a smile on his face."
