BOSTON — The investigation into the tragic death of a Boston University Professor is complete, said District Attorney, Kevin R. Hayden Friday afternoon.
Dr. David K. Jones was an Associate Professor in the Department of Health Law, Policy and Management at Boston University’s School of Public Health. His research focused on the politics of health reform and the social determinants of health.
Jones fell to his death, on September 11, 2021, through a broken section of the staircase on MBTA property at JFK Station.
Jones, an avid runner, was on a run when he attempted to ascend the unrepaired stairs, which had been blocked off and unattended for more than a year, according to DA Hayden.
“Any death is a tragedy and his family, loved ones, students, and colleagues continue to mourn his untimely passing,” said DA Hayden. “Based on a thorough and careful review of the evidence, however, we have determined that criminal charges are not warranted in connection with Dr. Jones’ death.”
