The Western community is mourning the death of undergraduate Social Science student Jeffrey Costa, who died April 7 in Richmond Hill, Ont. Jeffrey served as a Soph in both Medway-Sydenham Hall and Social Science and was well-known by many on campus. The Western community’s thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.
York Regional police are investigating.
