A 22-year-old USC student fell to his death off a sixth floor hotel balcony Tuesday in Cabo San Lucas, in what Mexican authorities are investigating as a tragic accident.

Samuel Levine was a psychology major and a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He was set to graduate in June.

Steven Kay, Dean of USC's Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences released a statement Wednesday:

“It is with great sadness that I write to inform you of the sudden passing of a member of our community and the Trojan Family.

Our deepest sympathies are with Sam’s parents and family members, with his close friends in the Sigma Chi fraternity and around campus, and with each of you in the psychology department.

Sam touched so many of us here at USC with his talents and ambition, and we all grieve for his incredibly promising life that was tragically cut short.”

USC is making grief counseling available to any students affected by Levine's death.
