<p>Is it true? ):
Oh my gosh, it must be all the pressure and stress. ):</p>

<p>yes, heard that too and seemed to be some official activity around the dorm. Very sad. Nothing is serious enough and permanent enough to be worth taking your life.</p>
<p>Very sad. I wonder if it was finals related…</p>
<p>I am sure that most of us can relate to the pain tho.
I’ve certainly felt like just… ending it all at times</p>
<p>I still remember back in my freshman year in the dorms (I lived in Unit 2 as well) when people would jokingly say that if your roommate kills him/herself, it’s automatic 4.0 for that semester…</p>
<p>It is a lot of pain, not just for the person who suffered it until tonight, but now for roommates, friends, family and the larger community. Very sad.</p>
<p>Bleh… I really feel empty now… just truly sad to see people taking away their own life over grades, etc… My condolences to the family because the news will hit them hard… sigh finals…</p>
<p>Yeah, I feel so unfocused right now. My prayers go out to his friends and family and to all of us Golden Bears. Grades are not that important. </p>
<p>I remember those jokes too about if your roommate dies, you get a 4.0…but its serious stuff. I’m never joking about finals and death because it is that serious for some.</p>
<p>^Does that really happen though? I doubt it… My FB is bombarded with “Shares” from DailyCal now…</p>
<p>There are plenty of statuses about people hating finals so much they want to die, at least from my friends…just not right now obviously. They usually appear later in the week when some people have finished and post about summer while others have to wait. I’ve posted one before.</p>
<p>Was it a suicide for sure? I was still hoping there’s some miracle and the person survived but …</p>
<p>I know many students who took a semester off and then came back to Cal. You won’t get expelled for your grades, just cope with Finals and it’s SUMMER. If you really need a break to reconsider your future/options, request to take a semester off after this, and come back later.</p>
<p>It’s not the end of the world (Rumor has it the end of world is Dec 2012)!! Think about parents, family and everyone who cared about you.</p>
<p>And Berkeley doesn’t award degrees to students who passed away before graduation. Another reason NOT TO!</p>
<p>I made an account here to say that I witnessed this horrible event walking back to my house. He made a status about killing himself before the incident.</p>
<p>That’s terrible TrillBerkeley… Do you know what happened?</p>
<p>He posted a status about 3 hours ago saying he was going to kill himself and tagged people.</p>
<p>"'RIP HENRY TREADWAY 11/18/91 - 5/8/12"</p>
<p>People were commenting saying it was a sick joke, until someone posted that his roommate hasn’t seen him for 3 hours. It’s a sad day to be a Berkeley student, I am very depressed about what has happened.</p>
<p>You do get expelled for grades…academic dismissal. Either way, truly devastating. =(</p>
<p>THIS IS JUST SO SAD! No one actually talked to him, help him and preventing the tragedy from happening. Just a call to check on people just to make sure isn’t embarrassing!!! People need to stop thinking “it’s a joke” at the first moment they see stuff like this.</p>
<p>You don’t get automatically dismissed for not doing well in 1 semester. They will first put you on watch and you can always appeal.</p>
<p>If he had the courage to end his own life, he could’ve done so many other challenging things. For whatever reason he did this to himself, I sincerely hope he is in a better place.</p>
<p>@Trill… sigh… this is really bad… If someone took that serious, this wouldn’t have happened… :(</p>
