NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. – An Iona student died Sunday night after a school security guard noticed him acting strangely, police said.
Sophomore William Falk, 20, of New Hampshire, was rushed to Sound Shore Medical Center where he later died, after a school security guard called police when Falk was seen acting strangely around the South Hall dorm, New Rochelle Police Department Capt. Joseph Schaller said.
