Student falls from third floor at Tamaulipas university; authorities investigate accident claim

A student at the Mexico American University of the North in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, sustained severe injuries after a fall from the third floor of the La Cima campus building. The incident prompted an immediate response from security forces due to the significant height of the fall.

Authorities have not yet determined whether the incident was an accident or, as initially suggested on social media, a deliberate jump. The university issued a statement confirming that personnel provided immediate first aid and activated emergency protocols to ensure the student's well-being and facilitate their transfer for medical attention.

"The causes that originated this event are unknown at this time. The competent authority will carry out the necessary investigations to clarify what happened. The institution will collaborate fully with the corresponding bodies and will follow up as necessary within its scope of competence," the university stated. It also expressed solidarity with the student, their family, and friends, reiterating its commitment to the safety and comprehensive well-being of its students.
