A Shanghai college student jumped to her death this morning after sending an SMS message "Goodbye" to her teacher.
The sophomore jumped from the 12th floor of a building in Shanghai International Studies University's downtown campus in Hongkou District about 10:30am.
Many students were having classes in the building when the incident happened.
A witness photographed the scene and uploaded them to t.sina.com, a Twitter-like microblog website, which immediately drew widespread attention.
The victim was a student of the English Language Department. Her classmates suspected that she probably killed herself over love affairs. The cause of her death is still under investigation.
Suicide has become a major cause of death for college students in Shanghai, according to a college safety report released by the city's education authorities in 2009.
Thirteen college students, including a foreign student, took their lives in Shanghai in 2009, more than those killed by disease and drowning.
Last year's figure has not been released yet.
