Elderly Adams House Resident Dies At 70

A 70-year old summer school student died Saturday after suffering a seizure in his Adams House room.

The student, Dr. Beltran R. Gomez of Forest Hills, NY, was pronounced dead at 4:41 p.m. at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston.

A passerby called the Harvard University Police after hearing moans coming from Gomez's room early Saturday morning, according to the HUPD log. The HUPD summoned an ambulance to the scene, and Dr. Gomez was taken first to Mt. Auburn Hospital and then to Beth Israel.

The cause of death could not be confirmed.

At the time of his death, Dr. Gomez was taking a course at the summer school to help research for a book he was writing, according to Joe Wrinn, a University spokesperson.
