Montana State Student Aaron Plowman Dies on Study Abroad

Another tragic study abroad death has occurred. Twenty-four year old Aaron Plowman was studying abroad in London, England when he fell off a roof, a recent news article reported. The Montana State student had apparently climbed on top of an abandoned building when the roof collapsed. Aaron was a senior English major from Soulsbyville, California.

London Metropolitan Police have classified Aaron’s death as accidental. Aaron was one of fourteen students who were apart of a spring break 10-day “Shakespeare’s England” trip led by an English professor.

According to the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, Aaron had written on the group’s website, “I'm going on the Shakespeare trip, because it is a great supplement to my Studies in Shakespeare class. I recently saw my first Shakespeare performance, so I'm excited to see some more. I'm most excited about King Lear.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Aaron and his family.
