GAINESVILLE -- Gainesville Police are investigating the death of a 20-year-old student at the University of Florida who fell from the sixth floor of an apartment complex near the campus, CBS Miami reports.

Chance W. Wolf, from Weston, was found unconscious and bleeding around 2 a.m. Sunday, as reported by the Sun-Sentinel.
