Female Master's Student Falls from NTU Condensed Matter Physics Building; 29-Year-Old Woman in Critical Condition
A fall occurred on the National Taiwan University campus this afternoon, leaving a 29-year-old female master's student critically injured — grim news for both the university and the woman's family.
- At around 3 p.m. today, a second-year master's student in the Department of Physics surnamed Huang fell from an upper floor of the Condensed Matter Physics Building, breaking through a safety net before hitting the ground.
- A passing student found her and called the authorities; by the time paramedics arrived she had no pulse or breathing, and she was taken to National Taiwan University Hospital after CPR was administered.
- Police forensic work found no signs of external involvement or of an accident, and no suicide note or personal belongings were left at the scene.
- The Da'an Precinct has contacted the family to come to the police station to discuss the situation, and the exact cause has yet to be determined.
Outlook: Police will continue investigating to determine the cause of the fall, and it remains to be seen whether the university will step up mental health support for students and safety measures on its buildings.
