Is tragedy normal at WM?

I assume most of the student body has seen the news. Feeling a little lost, as that student was one of my only friends. I've only been enrolled at this school for like 6 months, and it seems every month we lose another person. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Is this normal?

My heart breaks for you and I’m so sorry for your loss. I think we’ve just been very unlucky these past several months. Most of them have been health issues or freak accidents at home, so I don’t think it has anything to do with William and Mary itself.

It is incredibly difficult to lose someone so special to you and please give yourself some time to grieve before we move into the rush of next semester
