I just found out my professor died on Friday

He had been missing from class since the 3rd. No notice, no answer when the Dean tried to call him on the phone, nothing.

My guess is he got sick and then died on the 8th. I can’t believe it, I really liked him as a person and he seemed to like me as a student as well. He made me want to try in Spanish and he always encouraged us to study. I don’t know the exact reason he died, like I said, maybe he got sick or maybe he was in a car accident and then later succumbed to his injuries, idk. He had no noticeable health problems before. He was our school’s only Spanish teacher as well so I don’t know what will become of the class.

My professor in literature came and told us, while crying, that she just found out “her friend died” so idk if she was referring to him or not.

I found out he died literally just now because I’ve been worried about him as it’s not like him to miss class. I decided to just type his name up with obituary on Google just because I had a feeling. A feeling I was hoping wasn’t true 😢
