After undergoing surgery, the male student who fell out of a window in Lefevre House on Saturday is nearing stable condition at University Hospital, a spokeswoman for the University said.
The student, whose name is not being released, was sitting on a windowsill on the south end of the building around 8 p.m. when he fell out and landed on the stairway below, suffering head trauma. Police were notified and an ambulance transported the student to the hospital.
Alcohol's role in the incident had not been disclosed yesterday.
"His condition is stabilizing and he has made good progress in the last 24 hours," University spokeswoman Louise Dudley said after speaking with the student's father yesterday evening. The student's parents were notified and arrived in town to be with their son.
The 18-year-old student remained in the intensive care unit yesterday. It will probably be a few more days before an estimate on recovery time and possible permanent damage will be available, Dudley said.
The University Police thoroughly investigated the incident and have found no indication that it was anything but an accident, but alcohol evidently was involved, Capt. Michael Coleman said.
Coleman said it was unlikely that the student would be charged in the incident but that the case would be sent to the Commonwealth Attorney's office according to procedure.
