Rutgers student dies from heart failure

Rutgers student Kashish Negotia, 22, died of heart failure Friday, said University Chancellor Richard L. Edwards in an email to the Rutgers community.

Services for the School of Arts and Sciences senior were held over the preceding weekend, Edwards said.

“My sympathies go out to his family and to his friends in the Rutgers community,” he said. “Support from Counseling, ADAP and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) are available for students in the Rutgers community impacted by Kashish’s unexpected passing.”

Those who wish to seek counseling can visit CAPS at 17 Senior St. The office accepts both walk-ins and appointments, which can be made by calling 848-932-7884.
