Incoming Cornell University freshman Winston Perez-Ventura drowned while swimming near Fall Creek in Ithaca, New York, on Saturday — only two weeks before he was due to start classes at his dream school.
The 17-year-old from the Bronx, New York, was preparing to begin studies at the College of Architecture, Art and Planning — with hopes of becoming an architect in honor of his immigrant mother.
Cornell vice president for Student and Campus Life, Ryan Lombardi, confirmed the death in a statement, urging students to “seek support as necessary.”

Tom Rothman’s TriStar Productions has joined with BBC Films to greenlight The Lady In The Van, Alan Bennett’s adaptation of his commercial and critical West End hit, based on his own bestselling memoir.
Dame Maggie Smith, the star of the Downton Abbey phenomenon, will reprise one of her most-loved stage roles for the big screen, under the direction of Nicholas Hytner.
The film tells the true story of Miss Shepherd, an eccentric woman of uncertain origins, who “temporarily” parked her broken down van in Bennett’s London driveway… and proceeded to live there for the next fifteen years. Smith, who will play the singular Miss Shepherd, will be joined by Alex Jennings (The Queen), who will play both Bennett and, with some movie magic, his alter ego, Ab.
The film will be Hytner’s first directorial outing after ending his massively successful decade at the head of the British National Theatre.
