The institution says Khethelo Sibiya died after a fall at a residence near Berea Centre.

The Durban University of Technology says Sibiya, who was residing at the Hypervelocity Residence, died over the weekend.

He was a third-year Business and Information Management student.

This is the third reported death of a DUT student in the past two months.

Sphiwokuhle Madela, a third-year Bachelor of Health Sciences in Diagnostic Radiography student, died after falling from the fifth floor of a building at the Steve Biko campus in August.

Last month, the body of Manqoba Mnyandu was also found after he was reported missing. 

The 21-year-old nursing student was completing his studies at the DUT's Midlands Campus.

The DUT says it is deeply saddened by the recent deaths and is urging students to make use of counselling and support services available on all its campuses.
