New England in brief
BOSTON
A Boston University junior died in a fall early yesterday morning at a city hotel, officials said. The school identified the victim as Adam Robert Engel, 19, of Old Bethpage, N.Y. Officer David Estrada, a Boston police spokesman, said officers responded to the Doubletree Guest Suites on Soldiers Field Road about 12:45 a.m., where the victim was being treated by rescue workers. He was pronounced dead at the scene, Estrada said, and there were no indications of foul play. He said the office of the chief medical examiner will perform an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Engel was a junior in the School of Management and was studying accounting, Kenneth Elmore, dean of students, said in a letter to the campus community. A woman who answered the phone at Engel’s home said the family will not comment while the investigation into his death is ongoing.Body of man discovered in Dorchester
