\u201cNust\u2019s internal investigations and those of the Namibian Police have positively identified the deceased as a 34-year-old former student at Nust, who was enrolled in one of our qualifications between 2013 and 2014,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

Contact with the deceased\u2019s family is yet to be confirmed, the statement says.<\/p>\n

At the time of the incident, national police spokesperson deputy commissioner Kauna Shikwambi said: \u201cIt\u2019s alleged that a security guard on the premises heard a loud noise, and upon investigating, discovered the body of an unidentified male on the ground. It is unclear from which floor the deceased fell, and it has not yet been confirmed if he was a Nust student.\u201d<\/p>\n
