Okay, pushed or jumped? Or, accident. What kind of altercation and with who?

No, it’s the sudden and abrupt stop that kills.

If he “jumped”, then no one will be charged with a crime.

If he was pushed, or thrown, then there is a murder charge.

It may be that the university is engaged in some cover up to protect a perpetrator (who himself may have been drunk).

That's a change in velocity.

It's the sudden change in velocity that's the killer.

Indeed. And the harder the surface the faster the change in velocity.
