A University of Pennsylvania student has died from injuries suffered in a fall from a dormitory over the weekend.

College officials say Ryan Smith died today. He had fallen from the fifth floor of the Fisher Hassenfeld College House at about 10:30 a.m. Saturday.

It is not clear what caused the fall. Smith lived in another dorm.

His family said through a university spokeswoman earlier this week that they do not believe it was a suicide attempt.

Smith was from Rose Valley in Delaware County. He was a sophomore engineering major.    -AP
