WALTHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - A Bentley University student died in a “tragic accident” Sunday night during a senior class trip to the Bahamas, according to the university.

The university said it appears the student, Gaurav Jaisingh, accidentally fell from a balcony.

“It was the last thing I was expecting, especially just a few days away from graduation,” said Isabella Abeiga.

“We share our deepest condolences with Gaurav’s family, friends and loved ones,” a Bentley spokesperson said. “This is an enormous tragedy for our community.”

Local authorities are investigating the incident, the school said. Those affected are encouraged to reach out to the university’s counseling center, Bentley said.
