Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

Wright State University’s Dunbar Library is closed through the weekend after a staff member died in a fall on Friday.

Jeff Zentner, a programmer analyst in computing and telecommunications services, died at an area hospital due to injuries he sustained after a fall at the Dunbar Library, WSU president Sue Edwards said in a campus-wide email. Zentner worked at the university for nearly 25 years and had an English degree from WSU.

“Please keep his family, friends, and colleagues in your thoughts,” Edwards said. “I know that this tragedy has affected many of our students and employees.”

She also encouraged anyone who needed it to seek help.
