Student death in Saigon

A young Brown University student travelling through Vietnam died last night in her sleep. A fellow TEFL trainee who recently graduated from Brown received an email this morning with the news. My classmate had thought she saw the girl passing a restaurant two nights ago but she didn't say hello. She was planning on emailing her friends to confirm whether it was her when she received the news. According to the Brown Daily Herald, the girl died of acute heart failure caused by double hemorrhagic pneumonia. She had seemed tired but healthy when she went to sleep last night and had died in her sleep.

The girls who knew her are rightfully freaked out and scared. There's a somber atmosphere here at TEFL this morning as everyone considers the immediacy of the attack.
