UF pharmacy student Thao Tran believed to have taken own life Friday on the USF campus in Tampa, USF officials say.

A University of Florida graduate student is believed to have taken her own life while completing her studies in Tampa, just months after a UF doctoral candidate took his own life in his on-campus office.

Thao Tran, a 25-year-old student in her third year in UF’s College of Pharmacy, fell from an upper level of an eight-story parking garage on the University of South Florida campus in Tampa on Friday afternoon, according to a USF community alert.

Officials at USF say an investigation into Tran’s death is ongoing.

Tran was completing her studies at the Moffitt Cancer Hospital in Tampa, the USF alert said.

Investigators did not release the woman’s identity Sunday afternoon, but UF spokesman Steve Orlando confirmed her identity and studies.

Investigators learned she had been experiencing personal stress, the alert said, which may have led her to the decision to take her own life.

In June, a doctoral candidate in UF’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Huixiang Chen, took his life in the UF Benton Hall office where he worked.

The university posthumously awarded Chen his doctorate degree from UF at an on-campus memorial service in July.
