A senior at Penn State University died this weekend after falling from a balcony in Seville, Spain, where she was studying abroad.
Lauren Bajorek, from York, Pennsylvania, died early Saturday morning, university spokesman L Reidar Jensen confirmed.
Jensen said that Spanish authorities are continuing to investigate the senior finance major's death, but so far believe it was just an accident.
'We are all deeply saddened to learn of Lauren Bajorek's passing and offer our sincerest condolences to her family and friends... ' said a statement from Penn State. 'We send heartfelt sympathies to all whose lives were touched by Lauren.'
Bajorek was on an eight-week study abroad internship program. According to her Facebook page, she had been in Seville since May 25.
Officials with Penn State's Student Affairs and Global Programs have reportedly been in contact with Bajorek's family, and counseling services will be available for any students impacted by her death.
In addition to her major in finance, Bajorak was double minoring in Spanish and music performance.
On her LinkedIn page, she described herself as a 'dedicated, vibrant, and passionate college student.'
She was also a member of the Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity and played French horn in the Penn State Philharmonic Orchestra and Symphonic Band.
