Moderator: Remembering hazing death of Philip Dhanens at Fresno State Theta Chi in 2012.
Moderator: Why alcohol and the sedative Xanax can be deadly: alcohol with Xanax can slow breathing and possibly lead to death.
Letter to editor from Jim Piazza: Jim Piazza “While the investigation continues, it is important to note that this was not connected to any chapter event and occurred during the school’s winter break,” the national fraternity said in a statement. —- Um – he was 19. All the national fraternity cares about is to say it wasn’t hazing. Ok but it’s still not right. What about furnishing, holding the party in the frat house with minors, drugs being made available, no one keeping an eye on the 19 year old???? There is more to it.
Police are investigating the death of a student at California State University, Fresno who was rushed to the hospital Wednesday from a fraternity house.
Police responded to a call at the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity house on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. Omar Nemeth, a 19-year-old sophomore and biochemistry major, was taken to a nearby hospital and later pronounced dead, the university said in a statement.
Nemeth, who was not a fraternity member, appears to have died of an accidental overdose of Xanax after partying at the house early Wednesday morning with fraternity members, his girlfriend and younger brother, Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said at a press conference on Thursday.
“We are deeply saddened by this tragic news, and our hearts are broken for the student’s family and friends,” University President Joseph Castro said in a statementWednesday.
