Yale graduate leaps to his death after stabbing student who was a fellow member of conservative political group
A recent Yale University graduate committed suicide by jumping from the ninth floor of an off-campus apartment building just moments after stabbing a fellow student early Tuesday morning.
New Haven police say it happened around 5.30am at Taft Apartments on College Street, located across from the Ivy League campus.
The suspect, identified by Yale Daily News as Tyler Carlisle, fell six stories onto a third-floor terrace. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man Carlisle was believed to have stabbed, 21-year-old Alexander Michaud, is in stable condition at Yale-New Haven Hospital.
According to a statement put out by Yale University in the wake of the deadly incident, Tyler Carlisle graduated from college last week.
Alexander Michaud, Yale class 2017, was a member of the comedy and a capella group Mixed Company of Yale.
According to the Yale Daily News, both Michaud and Carlisle were active members of the Party of the Right, a constituent party of the Yale Political Union.
On its website, the political organization is described as 'the Right-most of the seven Parties in the Yale Political Union.'
Both Michaud and Carlisle were originally from Manchester, New Hampshire.

The PU has a game called "dichotomies". It goes like this: "DU or FR?" "DU". "Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton?" "Bernie Sanders.", and so on. Here's the POR's favorite line: "Hitler or Stalin?" "Stalin." "6 million or 23 million?"
CNN's Fareed Zakaria was, not surprisingly, a member of the POR. As the PU president, he presided over a lecture featuring Raygun's defense secretary Cap Weinberger. Again not surprisingly, many audience members chose to exercise their First Amendment rights to express their disapproval of Mr. Weinberger. Fareed had them ejected one by one. He'd point at each one in turn with a gesture disturbingly similar to a Heil Hitler salute!
