The Namibia University of Science and Technology (Nust) has confirmed the identity of a man who fell from its Poly Heights residential building in Windhoek on 3 October.
The man was a student at the university in 2013, spokesperson Nashilongo Gervasius said in a statement on Thursday.
“Nust’s internal investigations and those of the Namibian Police have positively identified the deceased as a 34-year-old former student at Nust, who was enrolled in one of our qualifications between 2013 and 2014,” the statement reads.
Contact with the deceased’s family is yet to be confirmed, the statement says.
At the time of the incident, national police spokesperson deputy commissioner Kauna Shikwambi said: “It’s alleged that a security guard on the premises heard a loud noise, and upon investigating, discovered the body of an unidentified male on the ground. It is unclear from which floor the deceased fell, and it has not yet been confirmed if he was a Nust student.”
