**It’s a Murder, Not Suicide: Family Members Speak After Georgia State Student’s Death**.
June 23, 2023.
ATLANTA, Ga. — The family of a Georgia State University student who died last year is speaking out, saying they believe his death was a murder, not a suicide..
Ryan Sesse was found dead in his dorm room on August 31, 2022. The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his death a suicide..
However, Sesse’s family said they do not believe he took his own life. They said he was a happy and outgoing person who had no reason to want to die..
“Ryan was not suicidal. He was a bright, funny, and loving young man who had his whole life ahead of him,” said his mother, Susan Sesse. “We are devastated by his loss, and we cannot believe that he is gone.”.
The family has hired a private investigator to look into Sesse’s death. The investigator, David Marsh, said he has found evidence that suggests Sesse was murdered..
“We believe that Ryan was killed by someone he knew and trusted,” said Marsh. “We are still investigating, but we are confident that we will find out who is responsible for his death.”.
The Sesse family is pleading with anyone who has information about Ryan’s death to come forward. They said they will not rest until they find out the truth about what happened to their son..
“We will not let Ryan’s death be swept under the rug,” said Ryan’s father, Robert Sesse. “We will keep fighting for justice until we get the answers we deserve.”.
Georgia State University released a statement saying it is cooperating with the police investigation into Sesse’s death. The university said it is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for all of its students..
“We are deeply saddened by the loss of Ryan Sesse,” the statement said. “We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends during this difficult time. We are cooperating with the police investigation and are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for all of our students.”.
Sesse’s death is one of several recent cases of college students who have died by suicide or in suspicious circumstances. In the past year, there have been at least 10 college students who have died by suicide at the University of Georgia, the University of South Carolina, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill..
The rise in college student suicides has raised concerns about the mental health of college students and the support that universities are providing to their students. Experts say that college students are under a lot of pressure to succeed academically and socially, and that this pressure can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems..
Universities are working to address the mental health needs of their students. Many universities have increased the number of mental health counselors on staff and are offering more mental health services to students. However, some experts say that more needs to be done to help college students cope with the pressures of college life..
“College students are facing a lot of challenges today,” said Dr. David Brent, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh. “They are under a lot of pressure to succeed, and they are often away from their families and support systems. Universities need to do more to help students cope with these challenges and to provide them with the support they need to succeed.”.
