Pittsburgh police were called about 10:30 p.m. to Brottier Hall, where campus police had responded for an altercation on the 16th floor.
Duquesne University President Ken Gormley identified the man as Marquis Brown, a junior. He was from Washington, D.C.
The man was taken to a hospital in critical condition and was later pronounced dead.

Okay, pushed or jumped? Or, accident. What kind of altercation and with who?
“...It’s the sudden change in velocity that’s the killer....”
No, it’s the sudden and abrupt stop that kills.
“I’m a horse! I’m a horse!” said Len over 30 years ago.
If he “jumped”, then no one will be charged with a crime.
If he was pushed, or thrown, then there is a murder charge.
It may be that the university is engaged in some cover up to protect a perpetrator (who himself may have been drunk).
Thanks for the update.
That's a change in velocity.
True. Good point.
Indeed. And the harder the surface the faster the change in velocity.
