UC Berkeley graduate student Larkin Brogan died Monday in Berkeley. She was 25 years old.
The case has been ruled as a suicide but still under investigation by the Berkeley Police Department, according to the Alameda County Coroner’s Office.
Brogan graduated from Princeton University in 2009, and was pursuing a master’s degree in architecture at the College of Environmental Design at the time of her death.
Brogan is the daughter of Kevin and Nena Brogan, both UC Berkeley graduates. She is survived by her parents, two brothers and a sister.
“She was an amazing young woman, she was loved deeply and will be greatly missed,” said Professor and Chair of Architecture Tom Buresh.
Architecture students will hold a gathering at 5 p.m. in Wurster Gallery to honor Brogan.

Rest in peace Larkin.
once again proves the inability of the authorities to predict/preempt student violence inlc. suicide
Brett Sokolow JD (nabita.org) has set up a nice cottage industry purporting otherwise.
welcome to the politics of fear
PROTIP (students): DO NOT GO TO THE TANG CENTER CPS. there cannot be a reasonable expectation of privacy/confidentiality; look into UC policy, current law and recent events on campus (calling Alex Kim, lol)
It would seem that her family is trying to suppress information about this, which is unfortunate, but understandable. She wasn’t a victim of foul play, at least.
What happened?! This is horrible, RIP Ms. Brogan!
