A senior at Fordham University died on Sunday after falling from a clock tower on campus. The 22-year-old and her friends reportedly climbed the tower’s stairs in the Bronx, N.Y. at roughly 3 a.m. Sunday morning, and was later rushed to the hospital after getting critically injured.
Monfries was reportedly trying to get photos of the city from the top of the tower and sent a Snapchat video before her deadly fall. The police found her unconscious, with trauma to her head and body, the New York Times reports. First responders reportedly had to use a rescue basket to lift her out of the tower because it was so narrow.
Sydney Monfries, FCRH ‘19, has died after sustaining injuries from a fall from Keating Clock tower, according to a statement from Rev. Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of the university. Information on funeral arrangements will be forthcoming.The clock tower is supposed to be off-limits for students, but the Times reports that other students heard rumors about people finding a way inside.
