ST. LOUIS - SLU leaders canceled all undergraduate classes on Friday to give students a day to focus on mental health after two on-campus deaths in the last few weeks, at least one of which was by suicide. "We come to you today as three leaders within the OneSLU community who have heard repeatedly during the last 36 hours how exhausted and anguished our campus feels at this moment," a letter from university leaders said Tuesday. "The loss of two students is unprecedented for SLU, and requires an unprecedented response." The first death was on Sept. 11. A university spokesman said the family consented to publicly naming the cause of death as suicide. The second death happened on Monday. The university did not say what the cause of death was.
