An 18-year-old Fordham student was found dead in his dorm room of an apparent suicide yesterday morning. Jacob Miller hanged himself in his room, and was discovered; he reportedly had no history of depression, and left no note. The school's president said, "His sudden loss, especially at such a young age, is heart-breaking and shocking." About 100 students gathered at a campus prayer service in honor of Miller, and one friend told the Daily News, "It doesn't make sense. He's the last kid you would think about doing this."
