Prior to his death, Dang had been woken up in the night by other students chatting in his dormitory, their statement said. He got into an argument and altercation with a boy, which was resolved by a school official.

This is actually pretty interesting. I wonder if whoever pushed him off the roof is part of a wealthy family or something similar.
