We’re sad to report that Estefano Aime, a senior at the University of Miami, died last night after a fatal fall from the School of Communications. Sources say that around midnight Estefano fell four to five stories on the Coral Gables campus.
NBC Miami is reporting that Stefano was dropped off at the school after attending an event at Rubi’s Lounge in Brickell. He then went to the fifth floor of the building with a female friend and tried to jump from one ledge to the other and didn’t make it.
