In the aftermath of the tragic accident which took the lives of six young Irish students on a J1 summer in California, other Irish students have visited the scene of the incident to pay their respects.
Berkeleyside.com have posted images of a Dublin flag being draped over the cautioned off area outside the building in which the Irish students were staying, as well as flowers that have been left at the site.

St.Mary's PPU also confirmed on twitter that a number of those involved were from the class of 2012.
Sad news that many of the students involved were past pupils of St. Marys, class 2012. Our thoughts with their family & friends #Berkeley
