An exchage student at NUS died!

4.4.2010 - Scott Monat (21) from America staying at Prince George's Park Residences, he was drinking with a friend at his residences room, at around 5 am in the morning he had trouble breathing. Panicked screams brought other students to his aid. He was rushed to hospital by paramedics but was pronounced dead about two hours later at the National University Hospital.

Monat is an exchange student from American studying at local university NUS, he arrived in Singapore only two months ago, he was a second year student at the University Miami Coral Gables, in US. Monat died of breathing difficulties.

A memorial was held for him on Wednesday evening at Hillel, the Jewish student centre on his US campus.

A tribute to Mr Monat was also posted on the website of The Miami Hurricane, a university newspaper, by senior writer and business manager Nick Maslow, who was a friend.

Its sad to let someone go when he had shared many laughter and loves with all his friends, I am sure he will be missed by all his friends both in Singapore and back in Miami.

Rest in peace Mr Scott Monat!
