 TORONTO, April 21, 2011 − At this time we are asking the news media to please understand that this continues to be a difficult time for the York Community, as we mourn the loss of one of our students.

Please note the following:

  • This is an ongoing criminal investigation and York University continues to work with Toronto Police Service http://www.torontopolice.on.ca/newsreleases/pdfs/20886.pdf
  • We are making every effort to ensure that the police investigation is not compromised and ask media to speak with Toronto Police Service about the investigation  
  • The suspect in custody is not a registered York student and does not have a degree from York
