May 2024 · 2 minute read

UCD Davis student death on Tuesday in a campus residence hall left the entire college devastated. Students on campus feel an overwhelming sense of shock and confusion amidst this mysterious incident.

In a tragic circumstance at UC Davis, Arhan Vyas, an 18-year-old computer science major from Mumbai, India, passed away on January 24th.

While the cause of death is yet to be confirmed by the Yolo County Coroner’s office, his autopsy is scheduled for Saturday, 28th January 2023  this week. 

Despite the coroner’s office being in charge of the investigation into Mr. Vyas’ death, other circumstantial information has been kept undisclosed and entirely under wraps by UCD. 

According to Vyas’ LinkedIn profile, he started attending UCD in September of last year and was pursuing a bachelor’s degree in computer science.

His university campus officials said in a written statement announcing Vyas’ passing.

“Our hearts go out to the family, friends, and others who knew and loved him. We are grateful for the first responders who were on-scene who did all they could for the student. We know that many of you are grieving, and we share in that loss, We encourage the campus community to draw on our support and other resources.”

A program called PulsePoint that tracks fire department response times to incidents reveals that the UCD Fire Department visited the student’s La Rue Road address twice, once at 1:46 a.m. and again at 5:05 a.m.

Counselors from UC Davis have spoken with the student’s roommates during their residence hall visit. The college community was urged to reach out for emotional help on campus or via other sources if they needed it after the student’s passing.

Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) and the Academic and Staff Assistance Program (ASAP) are two mental health options that UC Davis recommended be contacted by bereaved students and faculty.

Over 200 students are housed in Miller Hall, a first-year residence hall in the Segundo housing complex.
