Sixty-Foot Fall Kills Princeton Sophomore

A 19-year old Princeton sophomore died Saturday evening following the Harvard-Princeton football game.

Peter A. Cahn attempted to jump from his fourth-floor dormitory window to a balcony three feet away and tumbled to the pavement 60 feet below. He died of head injuries 45 minutes later.

Cahn was an assistant editor of the Daily Princetonian.

A member of the Princetonian said yesterday that the coroner's report indicated Cahn was not intoxicated at the time of the accident.

"Several of his friends were out on the balcony, and it appears that he was just trying to join them," he said.
