From Chinese origin 23 year old Lu Lingzi was just another foreign student attending Boston University; but that was until Monday. We’ve all heard about the terrible attacks on Monday April 15th at the Boston marathon and sadly we have a name for the third victim; she is Lu Lingzi.
After she was identified as the third victim this morning on newspapers, her father confirmed her death.
At the beginning her family did not want to disclosure her name and The University of Boston confirmed the third victim was a student of the center but they didn’t want to give any names since they didn’t have the family’s consent.
Her Facebook reads Lingzi Lu (Dorothy Lu) she is from Chinese origin. She graduated from high school in 2008. She studied statistics at Boston University and also attended the Beijing Institute of Technology. She was only 23 years old.
One of the things she enjoyed:
I love the Charles River at night!
And also enjoyed classical music from the Boston Symphony Orchestra
Lu was originally from China’s northeastern city of Shenyang. Friends and family were worried when on Monday Lingzi never returned home. She had gone to the marathon with two other friends. Among the friends was Zhou Danling, another Chinese graduate student at Boston University, who was injured and is now in stable condition at Boston Medical Center. Zhou was previously reported to be in a coma, according to news reports. The third friend was unharmed.
A Chinese Consulate General official from the Chinese Consulate in New York reported Chinese national Lu Lingzi was missing in the wake of Monday’s bombings that killed three and wounded more than 170 people.
Those who knew her have been sharing the love on what is believed to be Lu’s micro blogging account hosted by Sina Weibo.
Now we have the names of all three people who lost their lives on Monday’s terrible attacks; first we heard of 8 year old Martin Richard, then it was 29 year old Krystle Campbell and 23 year old Lu.
May they all rest in peace.
