A college freshman died after falling from the 10th floor of an apartment building in Minnesota during a Halloween party early Thursday, authorities said.

Joia Simpson, a 19-year-old student at the University of St. Thomas, plummeted from the building during a party at The Bridges apartment complex in Minneapolis, university officials confirmed in a statement.

The native of Bayside, California, was interested in studying business at the private, Roman Catholic college of roughly 6,100 students in St. Paul.

“Her family most wants people to remember her beautiful smile,” university officials said in a statement.

The circumstances of Simpson’s fall remain under investigation, Minneapolis Fire Department Assistant Chief Bryan Tyner told the Star Tribune. She had been visiting the apartment for a Halloween party and fell over two side-by-side railings, Tyner said, citing emergency dispatch audio recordings.

Police detectives interviewed at least seven people at the party, ranging in age from 18 to 20 years old, according to a heavily redacted incident report obtained by the newspaper.

The Rev. Larry Blake, chaplain and director of the university’s ministry, said campus officials were providing grief counselors and other forms of support for Simpson’s friends.

“This is a difficult time for them,” Blake told the newspaper. “They are devastated.”

No vigils in Simpson’s memory had yet been scheduled, Blake said.

Other students on campus said they were shocked by the loss.

“I just can’t even imagine what her family’s going through and all her close friends and everything,” freshman Lauren Julian, who lived in the same dorm as Simpson, told WCCO.

Investigators were waiting for autopsy results, but Simpson’s death is being probed as an accident, WCCO reports.

Simpson’s death comes less than two weeks after another student at the university, sophomore Katherine Mullen, was found dead in her dorm room, according to the Star Tribune. Police in St. Paul said her death was not considered suspicious.

“This has been a difficult few weeks for our campus community,” university officials said in a statement. “Please remember Joia, her family and friends in your prayers.”

Prior to attending St. Thomas University, Simpson graduated from Arcata High School in California, according to her Facebook profile.
