Student Commits Suicide at MIT

The ATO fraternity house, located on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, has about 25 summer boarders, including five others from Wellesley. Ten members of the chapter are also living there during the summer.

“We at ATO are truly saddened by the unexpected death of one of our summer boarders,” the fraternity’s president, George Gluck, said in a press release. “Our hearts go out to her friends and family as well as to all others affected by this tragedy.”

The death comes just a week after an April death at MIT was ruled a suicide. That suicide was the sixth at the school in four years.

The Boston Globe reported this week that a draft report by a committee examining mental health issues at the renowned technology school recommended a complete overhaul of the school’s counseling services and the appointment of a new dean to oversee mental health services.

An MIT spokesperson refused to comment on when the final report would be issued.
