Sameer Kamath, an Indian-origin doctoral student at Purdue University, was found dead at a nature preserve, with the coroner's office confirming that he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. This marks the third student death to shock Purdue University in less than two years, following the recent discovery of Indian student Neel Acharya's body on campus and the 2022 murder of Varun Manish Chheda. The coroner's office emphasized that suicide is preventable and urged those in need to seek help from the National Suicide Hotline.
