Brock University is saddened by the death of first-year student Mateo Mejia.

The social sciences student died on Jan. 5 while in Mexico. Visitation and service were held in Guelph, where Mejia’s family lives, on Jan. 9.

Mejia’s parents, Mauricio Mejia and Maria Perez, thank Brock for their son’s four months studying at the University.

We would like to express our deepest sympathies to Mejia’s family and friends during this difficult time.
