Baton Rouge Police Department officers found two unresponsive people at the bottom of a pool near Tigerland just after 1 a.m. Sunday morning. The two were later confirmed by BRPD to both be University students.
BRPD identified the victims as 25-year-old Anton Joe and 28-year-old Ishita Maity. Both are listed as graduate assistants in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the LSU Directory.
After an officer retrieved both unresponsive bodies from the pool, located at 1315 Bob Pettit Blvd., EMS transported them to a local hospital. Officers found the pool closed and a gate to the pool locked, according to the after hours synopsis. Preliminary investigation indicates the two may have entered the pool area by jumping the fence.
BRPD said the two died at a local hospital Sunday afternoon and that there were no obvious signs of foul play.
