22 year old Darby Fassett was found unresponsive in front of his Hadley home Thursday. Now, another student is facing charges of drug possession.

22 year old Darby Fassett was a UMass sophomore. Friends chime in on the Facebook page dedicated to the Journalism major. They remember him for his wit and his fun loving personality.

Fassett was found unconscious in front of his Bay Road home Thursday night. He couldn't be resuscitated.

Police still can't say for sure if drugs played a role in Fassett's death, but another student is now being charged with possession of a Class A substance. Police say, it's usually heroin.

"It's heavy, that's some pretty crazy stuff," says UMass freshman Patrick Shea.

That's the consensus, as word of the third student death in two months ripples throughout the Amherst campus. While many associate college with parties, the atmosphere has changed.

"A lot of marijuana, some cocaine, Adderall abuse as well," Shea notes.

"It's pretty prominent I guess," adds Sean Mayer.

Prominent, but not high profile until this last week as over 100 San Diego State University students were arrested on suspicion of hardcore drug dealing. It makes some think twice about what's really going on at institutes of higher learning

"It's definitely growing and it's definitely a problem with drugs in America, which does go to show that the war on drugs isn't really effective," freshman Steve Brefo adds.
