State College Police responded to a report of a male found lying on the south side of the garage at 9:38 a.m. on December 20 and confirmed the death via a press release. Details of the incident are still under investigation, though at this moment they believe no criminal activity was involved and the student died from injuries suffered from the fall. An autopsy will take place today.

At this time, limited information is available on the incident. Our deepest condolences go out to those who knew Magargle. We will continue to update this post as more information becomes available.
