Taylor Samson, a 3rd year Dalhousie Physics student went missing on August 15th and today Halifax Regional Police have stated that he is presumed dead. Halifax Regional Police have also confirmed that William Sandeson, also a Dal student, was charged with first-degree murder in the death. Both students lived off campus.
Dalhousie is devastated by this news. Our thoughts are with Taylor’s family and friends and the loss they have suffered. We have support and counselling available for students. We encourage those students to contact Dalhousie Counselling and Psychological Services at 902.494.2081.
