In an extremely dreadful incident, workers at Snyder Hall dorm on Friday were found disinfecting the community bathroom and grazing the walls in the premises.
Later during the day, a student named Carly Glynn died due to what seemed like a critical bacterial infection she caught earlier in the morning.
In just next to no time, the situation was found slipping out of hands several people were seen lingering in the hallway spreading news about the case. Soon, media made seen at the spot with the intent of rolling interviews of students for figuring out what the matter was in actual fact.
Reports have claimed that the case and fears of a potential disease outbreak forced various students to leave their rooms in order to safeguard their health and make sure they don't fall prey to any such kind of illness.
The unforeseen death of the student resulted in sparking confusion and a sense of uncertainty all over the region. Along the same lines, a mass email was sent by the Office of Provost on Friday wherein the incident was briefed, and the email increased fears even further.
Breathing in a state of uncertainty and bother, many students, including those in halls of Snyder and Phillips where the fatality was recorded, started pondering over the suspicions if there is any sort of risk of dying for them. Health department authorities deem that the death of the student might have been transpired because of the potentially terminal meningococcal disease, though no kind of assessment or test result was available until Sunday.
Even after Kauffman learned meningococcal disease only spreads with close contact to the infected person, she still wonders.
In this regard, Mary Kate Tantillo, a communication sophomore, said: "I came back from work, I was in the cafeteria and everyone seemed to be stressed. I was really freaking out thinking maybe I could catch it".
