On Thursday, Sept. 19, UB police and emergency medical personnel responded to a student in distress in a lecture in Knox Lecture Hall, according to UB's official statement. Paul Englert Jr. was immediately rushed to Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital, where he died of natural causes. He was 19 years old.
Englert, a sophomore engineering major, experienced a medical emergency - the details of which have not been released - during his 2 p.m. Engineering Computations lecture in Knox 104.
