This death of Lambda Chi Alpha new member appears to be an accident. This is such a sad tragedy if it were just a fun outing. I did write today to investigator Deitrick with a list of questions I respectfully submitted. I know this reservoir well from my travel days. Condolences to family. http://www.ktvb.com/news/UI-student-drowns-in-Idaho-reservoir-168322726.html
