Crispin Scott, a member of the class of 2013, was found dead in an apartment on Saturday, police said. The cause of his death is unknown and police are investigating.
Scott, of Mercer Island, Wash., was studying abroad on the Academy of Liberal and Beaux-Arts program run by Portland State University. He was seen at a gathering of at least 40 students in the program Friday night at a hotel, which broke up into smaller groups.
Program director Charles Grant told The Dartmouth newspaper that Scott did not return to his apartment and did not show up for an orientation session on Saturday.
“Barcelona police are investigating as they do for all untimely deaths, and like everyone else, we are waiting for more information,” Johnson told The Dartmouth.
Police officials said “there did not appear to have been any physical violence.”
'Heavy hearts'
Sadness over Scott’s death surfaced on social network sites on Monday.
“With heavy hearts, the DRFC mourns the untimely loss of one of our own. Our thoughts are with Crispin Scott's family and friends during this difficult time,” the Rugby Football Club posted on its Facebook page.
“Rip to one of the most intelligent human beings I have ever known u will be missed Crispin Scott,” tweeted @NeakDaSneak206.
“Crispin Scott from Tokyo and Seattle, a son of our friend, passed away in Barcelona. With deep sadness we miss him and pray for his family,” tweeted @tomoikenaga.
“Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Crispin Scott '13, such a tragedy - you'll be missed #RIP,” Darmouth11 posted on its Twitter's feed.

Did you really need to include 3 completely anonymous tweets in this article? It makes an article look inane, when it is supposed to be serious. NeakDaSneak206? Seriously.
Why is this national news? People die everywhere, everyday. Let's try to have some valuable reporting. Condolences to his family.
If there were no signs of physical violence, then maybe it was suicide. Either way, condolences to his family and friends for their loss.
Hey, honey... nice Avatar lol
Agreed - here at Dartmouth it's in the paper and people are understandable upset. We have a very tight community. But I was quite surprised to see it on MSN. Especially since there's nothing to say about it yet - no known cause of death, etc. I'm quite sure the family would much rather be left in peace with close friends and relatives than have the media hound them.
Wow! I thought "studying a broad" could only make you go blind, not kill you!
My daughter might intern overseas. This is scary.
Don't let it scare you until you actually know what happened. There's nothing in this article to tell us what even might have happened to this poor kid. If you're going to panic, at least let it be an informed panic.
This does not appear to be a news item!
Those broads in Spain do not like to be studied.
sounds to me like studying abroad is dangerous
