The News Desk's Sonalee Rau reports that Cyril Young, assistant director of Columbia's power plant, was found dead in his office at the Schapiro Center for Engineering and Physical Science Research this morning.
Samuel Delgado, a watch engineer who works at the power plant, said, "It's a sad tragedy. He dealt with the whole community, he was in charge of the powerhouse---[such as] when you have complaints about cold water."
