A rising Harvard University sophomore died in Germany this weekend while conducting research in Europe for a popular student-run travel guide company, The Boston Globe reports.
19-year-old Haley Rue reportedly drowned after she slipped while hiking in Germany and got caught in a whirlpool. Rue’s grandmother described her granddaughter to The Globe:
“The best way I can describe Haley is that the whole room lit up when Haley came in .. She had a wonderful smile. She talked and laughed and included everyone in the conversation. She was a very bright girl.”
Originally from Tacoma, Washington, Rue was in Europe as a researcher and writer for Lets Go, a Harvard student-run travel guide company. According to The Harvard Crimson, she had been traveling through Austria, Germany, and Hungary.
