According to Dartmouth College, Crispin Scott, a student from Mercer Island, Washington, died while studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain. Scott was found dead in an apartment on Saturday and the cause of his death is still unknown. The Barcelona police continue to investigate.
Scott played on Dartmouth’s Big Green men’s rugby team, and he was a member of the class of 2013. He was in Barcelona in the Academy of Liberal and Beaux-Arts programs run by Portland State University. Scott was last seen at an event on Friday that included around 40 other students at a hotel, which later separated into smaller groups. Program Director, Charles Grant, told the Dartmouth newspaper that Scott did not return to his apartment on Friday evening, and he did not attend a Saturday orientation session. Police officials said, “There did not appear to have been any physical violence.”
