Fatal Fire-Students



A second student has died after fire swept an off-campus apartment near the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
 
A spokeswoman for Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis says 21 year old Jacob Clarkson died Tuesday.  Clarkson's family issued a statement saying they will "miss him more than words can say."  Family members say they are honoring Clarkson's decision to be an organ donor.
 
The Leader-Telegram reports Clarkston was severely burned in Monday's fire that also killed his roommate, 21 year old Ross Livermore.  Two other roommates escaped the fire and have been released from a local hospital.  All of the roommates were friends from Stillwater.
