A former University of California, Irvine student threw his 77-year-old mother to her death from a campus building and then jumped himself, police said Wednesday.

The bodies of Thao Thai Nguyen and her 36-year-old son Andrew Nguyen Doan, both of Irvine, were found Tuesday afternoon at Social Science Plaza B, police said.

Investigators determined that Doan picked up his mother and threw her from a landing before jumping, a police statement said.
