DeKALB – Northern Illinois University sophomore Oluwarotimi “Timi” Okedina died of injuries suffered when he fell Saturday from the 11th floor of a campus dormitory, according to autopsy information released by DeKalb County Coroner Dennis Miller.

How Okedina fell still is under investigation, and Miller won’t rule on the manner of death until officials can review toxicology, autopsy and other reports, he said.

Services for the 19-year-old will start today in Chicago with a visitation from 3 to 9 p.m. at the Smith-Corcoran Funeral Home, 6150 N. Cicero. His funeral will be at 10 a.m. Friday in a chapel there. Okedina will be buried at the Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago.

Police were called Saturday to the 12-story Stevenson Towers C – one of four that make up the complex at the south end of the university’s student housing area – about 10 p.m. The student was found on the ground after falling from the 11th floor of the building, NIU spokesman Joe King said.

He was taken to Kishwaukee Hospital where he was pronounced dead, King said.

Okedina is survived by his mother, father and two sisters.

King said it remained unclear how Okedina fell, but confirmed Okedina was not assigned to that building or the room from which he fell.

Okedina graduated in 2014 from Maine East High School in suburban Park Ridge. News of his death quickly reached students and staff at the school.

Maine East High School officials released a statement saying Okedina was a diligent student who was kind and respectful.

“Timi was a leader on the Blue Demon varsity soccer team and was instrumental in the success of the 2011 Regional Champion team,” the statement said.

Tributes and remembrances from friends and classmates filled his Facebook page and a condolences page on the funeral home's website.

The window Okedina fell through was narrow and screened, and most students said it would have been difficult to pass through.

The tower’s windows are composed of two sections. One part is a larger pane that doesn’t open. Below that is a more narrow vent section that opens by pushing the glass outward. It includes a screen that slides left to right.

University officials would not say how Okedina could have fallen.

“All of that would part of an ongoing investigation. I couldn’t comment on it,” NIU spokesman Joe King said.
