BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) โ A Bowling Green State University student died after an alleged hazing incident involving alcohol, his familyโs attorney said.
The death of Stone Foltz, 20, is โa tragedy,โ Attorney Sean Alto said in a statement released Sunday night. Alto said Foltzโs family was โgathering all of the facts leading to his untimely death.โ
The university placed the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity on interim suspension and was working with law enforcement investigating what the fraternityโs parent organization called โan alleged incident of alcohol-related hazing at an off-campus eventโ that left officials โhorrified and outraged.โ
Folz, a business major, was found by roommates or friends after the event late Thursday night and was taken to a hospital.
His family will donate Foltzโs organs, according to Alto.
In an email to students and faculty, university President Rodney Rodgers wrote the school mourned the sophomoreโs loss and shared in his familyโs sorrow.
โThis tragic incident has certainly impacted our students and community,โ the university said on Twitter, adding that officials were meeting with student leaders โto decide the short- and long-term future of fraternity and sorority lifeโ at the school.
โIn the days to come, we will also be reviewing all other student organizations,โ the university said.
