A student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute killed himself Tuesday in his upstate New York dorm room by consuming a mix of household chemicals.

Troy police said the student, whose name hasn't been revealed, was found dead around 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning. They are clueless about the chemicals used and the reason for his suicide.

He left a note behind warning people who found him to leave the room immediately because of the toxic mix.

Six people, who went into the room and were exposed to the chemicals, were taken to the hospital as a precaution. They are in a stable condition and are expected to recover.
