Members of the Texas A&M Delta Tau Delta fraternity have identified a 19-year-old man who fell to his death from a Central Business District balcony early Saturday morning as Andrew Thomas Henges.
Henges was leaning over a balcony railing in the 600 block of Loyola Avenue when he accidentally fell to ground, New Orleans police said. Emergency Medical Services pronounced him dead on the scene.
Henges was a freshman studying biological sciences at Texas A&M University, according to public records.
“His passing is and will always be unbelievably tragic, but the impact he had on the men of this fraternity and everyone he knew outside of it is far from that,” his Delta Tau Delta fraternity members wrote in an Instagram post. “Andrew was soft-spoken but carried a heart of gold — one that deeply cared for others.”
Henges will be buried Friday in Beaumont, Texas, according to his obituary.
