Miranda Scott, a first-year UBC Okanagan student from Delta, BC, passed away last Friday, according to the UBC website.

According to Chun Li, a first-year student, Scott collapsed while working out at the gym. “When I went upstairs, she was on the blue mat. She looked like she was finishing her workout,” she said. “She got up, looked perfectly fine, and then she took a couple steps and collapsed on one of the guys behind me.”

According to Li, when he ran to get help, another student working out was able to perform first aid. Two ambulances and a fire truck arrived on the scene and she was taken to hospital.

Requests for further details from campus security and police were declined on the basis of a lack of information.

On Monday, March 8, the university lowered their flags to half-mast in memoriam of Scott.
