USC Graduate Student’s Body Found in Dorm Room About a Week After His Death
KTLA ^ | August 24, 2017 | Melissa Palmer,

Posted on 08/24/2017 5:01:12 PM PDT by BenLurkin

The man’s body was discovered Wednesday afternoon after a maintenance worker detected a strong smell coming from a dorm room at Seaver Residence Hall, according Los Angeles Police Department Detective Jose Ramirez.

...

The victim was identified as Jacob Kelley, a first-year student in a master’s program in medical physiology....

The young man had been there for five to seven days before he was discovered, the LAPD detective said. It’s not clear how he died.

...

The county coroner’s office, which has taken over the case, said only that the individual was a white male of unknown age who was found “slightly decomposed.” The body was discovered about 2:18 p.m. Wednesday, coroner Assistant Chief Ed Winter said.

...

An LAPD spokeswoman initially referred calls about the case to USC’s Department of Public Safety, where Assistant Chief David Carlisle said the death did not appear to be a “criminal thing.”

...

The medical school has been in the spotlight in recent weeks after the Los Angeles Times reported in mid-July that the former dean, a top fundraiser named Carmen Puliafito, was allegedly a habitual drug abuser who partied with criminals and prostitutes. Puliafito resigned in March 2016.

Not important. The most important thing going on at USC is the name of the horse mascot!

For those who aren’t aware, the USC horse is named “Traveler”, and blacks are offended because Robert E Lee had a horse named “Traveller”.

It is a white horse too. Obviously the horse is racist.

Well, since we all know white lives don't matter, I doubt any college authorities care beans about what happened to him. /s

This is the second story like this I’ve seen. The other was some old guy who was found in an elevator in some parking garage. Admitedly the garage was having some work done, but still, his body was there for a long time.

Didn’t this young man have anyone who talked to him on a regular basis?

Tuition at USC now exceeds Stanford and the Ivy League schools.

USC, always striving to reach new heights, is set to cross a dubious milestone: Tuition for the 2016-2017 academic year will surpass $50,000 for the first time.

With a price tag of $51,442 for tuition and an additional $841 in fees, USC is sure to be in the running for the unofficial title of most expensive place in the country to get a college degree. According to U.S. News & World Report, Vassar College in New York won that honor for the current school year by charging $51,300 in tuition and fees. Even Harvard, that paragon of academic excellence, charges undergraduates a mere $45,278 in tuition and fees.

Pretty damn sad that not a classmate or prof or anyone else bothered to even inquire about him for more than a week.

Once you smell it, you’ll never forget the stench of a rotting human corpse.

They could pull a Roy Rogers and change it’s name to Trigger - in honor of how it seems to Trigger so many Snowflakes.

They were doubly offended that it was close to the french word “travailler” or “to work”.

When I entered the graduate school at USC in 1973, tuition was $90 per unit. Well into the 1980’s, you could take a course for under $600. And in those days, USC was an oasis of academic freedom. An atmosphere of conformity to leftist thought had not yet descended over the campus, as would eventually happen.

I doubt Robert Lee will be calling any football games for the Trojans. Even his horse is unwelcome.
