MIT Student Dies in Fall

An MIT student died early this morning in what the AP says was an apparent fall from the fifth floor of the Delta Upsilon fraternity house.

Robert Wells was a senior from Ballston Spa, New York. He studied in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and played on the football team.

In WBZ's online video, a neighbor described the scene: "The body was laying right next to that car with white towels on it, and there was just blood everywhere." WHDH noted that a party--which isn't out of the ordinary at a fraternity--was going on that night.

No further details have been released about the incident.
