Boston, May 14 (IANS) An Indian-origin student from the US died after falling from a balcony in the Bahamas, just a few days before graduating.

“On Sunday, the police launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of an adult male of the United States on Paradise Island. According to initial reports, sometime around 10:00 p.m., the victim was inside his hotel room with other roommates when it is reported that he accidentally fell from an upper-level balcony. He was later found unresponsive on a lower floor,” said the police in a press release
